python - csv.DictWriter delimiter set to space implies text in " " -

-

hi noticed while using dictwriter , delimiter=' ' instead of ',' string saved file in "" while use of comma without. how set things have strings without " "?

code

import csv golds_two =[] mydict ={}  open ('filea.csv','ru') csvfile:     wszystkie=csv.dictreader(csvfile,delimiter=',')     w in wszystkie:         mydict[(w['url']).split('/')[-1]]=w['mediaobject id']   open ('fileb.csv','ru') csvfile:     golds=csv.dictreader(csvfile,delimiter=';')     g in golds:         g['mediaobject id']=mydict[g['id']]         golds_two.append(g)   open('filec.csv','w') f:          head_fields =golds_two[0].keys()         head_fields.remove('id')         print head_fields         head_fields=sorted(head_fields,reverse=true)         csvdw = csv.dictwriter(f,delimiter=" ",fieldnames=head_fields)         headers = dict( (n,n) n in head_fields)          z in golds_two:             z.pop('id',none)             print z             csvdw.writerow(z)

filea.csv:

mediaobject id,url 1152901,http://foo.bar/tru716565.jpg 1152902,http://foo.bar/tru716566.jpg

fileb.csv:

id;gold label tru716565.jpg;identifable x tru716566.jpg;non identfiable x

resulting filec.csv:

1152901 "identifable x" 1152902 "non identfiable x"

normally, suppress quoting of data fields in csv file need add aquoting=csv.quote_nonekeyword argument csv.dictwriter()constructor call.

however, doing in case cause exception raised because of data fields contain thedemilitercharacter trying use (' '), , differentescapecharwas not defined. mentioned in documentation says:

if escapechar not set, writer raise error if characters require escaping encountered.

this makes total sense if think -- csv file unparsable (i.e. invalid) if data in fields contained unescaped delimiter characters because there no way tell data delimiters -- they'd non-identifiable -- if results looked this:

1152901 identifable x 1152902 non identfiable x

so changing delimiter to"\t"will rid of quotes (as discovered), or alternatively define anescapechar="\\"(or whatever) in constructor call , leave delimiter set to" "-- because either there no longer conflict between file's delimiter , contents of data fields or there way escape them when they're encountered.

if want results way stated unknown reason, can write file out manually, suppose.

update: here's 1 possible workaround changes space characters in data fields to'\xa0' non-breaking space on system displays same regular space character.

with open('filec.csv','w') f:     head_fields =golds_two[0].keys()     head_fields.remove('id')     print head_fields     head_fields=sorted(head_fields,reverse=true)     csvdw = csv.dictwriter(f,delimiter=" ",fieldnames=head_fields,                            quoting=csv.quote_none)     headers = dict( (n,n) n in head_fields)      z in golds_two:         z.pop('id',none)         print z         k,v in z.iteritems():             z[k] = v.replace(' ', '\xa0')         csvdw.writerow(z)

i use sonar plugin executes if activated in maven profile. sonar runs on every compile. the problem build fail other team members not have sonar application installed locally. pom.xml checked in team members same copy including sonar configuration, don't want them modify purpose of disabling sonar (they might inadvertently check modified copy in). please advise how configure maven (.m2/settings.xml) and/or pom.xml sonar feature can enabled/disabled local profile. here sonar configuration in each project's pom.xml: <plugin> <groupid>org.codehaus.mojo</groupid> <artifactid>sonar-maven-plugin</artifactid> <version>1.0</version> <executions> <execution> <id>make-sonar</id> <phase>compile</phase> <goals> <goal>sonar</goal> </goals> </execution> </executions> ...

python - TypeError: can only concatenate tuple (not "float") to tuple -

i'm new python, question might easy, anyway, patience: as trying call newton-raphson method calculate implied volatility in black-scholes formula call/put option pricing, first thing is, newton method in scipy.optimize seems calculate function's zeros, in black-scholes formula, want function's value option price, not zero. (i'm new here programming, i'm not sure techniques.) should write function things like: def f(sigma, price): return bsformula(s0,k,r,t,q,sigma) - price then, while calling newton method, takes args=() 1 parameter in function, write this: value = newton(bsprice2, 0.5, args=price) but error message: file "bs.py", line 36, in bsimpvol value = newton(bsprice2, 0.5, args=float(price)) file "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/scipy/optimize/zeros.py", line 143, in newton q0 = func(*((p0,) + args)) typeerror: can concatenate tuple (not "float") tuple could tell me why that? how fix it? apprecia...

this question has answer here: meaning of .this , .class in java 2 answers i'll straight point. im still learning bit of syntax , want know difference between code is code a: public class buttonz extends jbutton{ public buttonz(){ settext(new string(string.valueof(i))); } } please ignore fact i undeclared, not lost. code b: public class buttonz extends jbutton{ public buttonz(){ settext(new string(string.this.charat(i))); } } what don't yet understand difference in typing string.this , string. i under assumption when use dot operator on class accessing it's static methods(and/or variables if they're not hidden). i have studied little bit , have concluded when using string. accessing string static methods.. when using string.this. i'm accessing methods class buttonz extendi...
