CircuitPython helper library for working with CSV files
This driver depends on:
You can find which Adafruit boards have the re
library here.
Please ensure all dependencies are available on the CircuitPython filesystem. This is easily achieved by downloading the Adafruit library and driver bundle or individual libraries can be installed using circup.
Make sure that you have circup
installed in your Python environment. Install it with the following command if necessary:
pip3 install circup
With circup
installed and your CircuitPython device connected use the following command to install:
circup install circuitpython-csv
Or the following command to update an existing version:
circup update
Note
This library is provided on PyPI so that code developed for microcontrollers with this library will also run on computers like the Raspberry Pi. If you just need a package for working with CSV files on a computer or SBC only, consider using the Python standard library's csv
module instead.
On supported GNU/Linux systems like the Raspberry Pi, you can install the driver locally from PyPI. To install for current user:
pip3 install circuitpython-csv
To install system-wide (this may be required in some cases):
sudo pip3 install circuitpython-csv
To install in a virtual environment in your current project:
mkdir project-name && cd project-name python3 -m venv .venv source .venv/bin/activate pip3 install circuitpython-csv
import board import sdcardio import storage import circuitpython_csv as csv # Initialize SD card spi = board.SPI() sdcard = sdcardio.SDCard(spi, board.D10) vfs = storage.VfsFat(sdcard) storage.mount(vfs, "/sd") # Write the CSV file! with open("/sd/testwrite.csv", mode="w", encoding="utf-8") as writablefile: csvwriter = csv.writer(writablefile) csvwriter.writerow(["I", "love", "CircuitPython", "!"]) csvwriter.writerow(["Spam"] * 3)
