Python Pandas, write DataFrame to fixed-width file (to_fwf?)

Question

I see that Pandas has read_fwf, but does it have something like DataFrame.to_fwf? I\'m looking for support for field width, numerical precision, a

Answer 1

found a very simple solution! (Python). In the code snapped I am trying to write a DataFrame to a positional File. "finalDataFrame.values.tolist()" will return u a list in which each row of the DataFrame is turn into an another list just a [['Camry',2019,'Toyota'],['Mustang','2016','Ford']]. after that with the help of for loop and if statement i am trying to set its fix length. rest is obvious!

 with open (FilePath,'w') as f:
    for i in finalDataFrame.values.tolist():
        widths=(0,0,0,0,0,0,0)
        if i[2] == 'nan':
            i[2]=''
            for h in range(7):
                i[2]= i[2] + ' '
        else:
            x=7-len(str(i[2]))
            a=''
            for k in range(x):
               a=a+' '
            i[2]=str(i[2])+a

        if i[3] == '':
            i[3]=''
            for h in range(25):
                i[3]=i[3]+' '
        else:
            x = 25 - len(i[3])
            print(x)
            a = ''
            for k in range(x):
                a = a + ' '
            print(a)
            i[3] = i[3] + a


        i[4] = str(i[4])[:10]

        q="".join("%*s" % i for i in zip(widths, i))
        f.write(q+'\n')
