Getting “newline inside string” while reading the csv file in Python?

Question

I have this utils.py file in Django Architecture:

def range_data(ip):
    r = []
    f = open(os.path.join(settings.PROJECT_ROOT, \'static\', \'csv \', 
             


        

Answer 1

1. You can preprocess the csv by removing the newline like below.

   import csv
   
   content = open("GeoIPCountryWhois.csv", "r").read().replace('\r\n','\n')
   
   with open("GeoIPCountryWhois2.csv", "w") as g:
       g.write(content)
   

   Then Use GeoIPCountryWhois2 for csv reader.

2. A wild Guess using a lineterminator may solve your problem

   for num,row in enumerate(csv.reader(f,lineterminator='\n'))
