Read in all csv files from a directory using Python

Question

I hope this is not trivial but I am wondering the following:

If I have a specific folder with n csv files, how could I iteratively read all of

Answer 1

According to the documentation of numpy.genfromtxt(), the first argument can be a

File, filename, or generator to read.

That would mean that you could write a generator that yields the lines of all the files like this:

def csv_merge_generator(pattern):
    for file in glob.glob(pattern):
        for line in file:
            yield line

# then using it like this

numpy.genfromtxt(csv_merge_generator('*.csv')) 

should work. (I do not have numpy installed, so cannot test easily)
