I am using GAE to host a website which needs inputs from a CSV file. After this csv file has been uploaded, I will convert it to a table. However, I met the problem about Mac and Windows compatibility issue. The CSV file generated in Mac will not be recognized, and I got the error:
new-line character seen in unquoted field - do you need to open the file in universal-newline mode?
Here is my Python CODE
def loop_html(thefile):
reader = csv.reader(thefile.file)
header = reader.next()
i=1
iter_html=""
for row in reader:
iter_html = iter_html +html_table(row,i) #generate inputs table
i=i+1
def html_table(row_inp,iter):
mai_temp=float(row_inp[0])
Input_header="""<table border="1">
<tr><H3>Batch Calculation of Iteration %s</H3></tr><br>
<tr>
<td><b>Input Name</b></td>
<td><b>Input value</b></td>
<td><b>Unit</b></td>
</tr>"""%(iter)
Input_mai="""<tr>
<td>Mass of Applied Ingredient Applied to Paddy</td>
<td>%s</td>
<td>kg</td>
</tr>""" %(mai_temp)
Inout_table = Input_header+Input_mai
return Inout_table
Later I changed the code 'reader = csv.reader(thefile.file) ' to 'reader = csv.reader(open(thefile.file,'U')) ' which gave me different types of error:
TypeError: coercing to Unicode: need string or buffer, cStringIO.StringO found
Can anyone take a look at my code and give me some suggestions? Thanks!
