Make CSV Data to String List Python

Question

I have CSV file with data like this =

'01,02,VM001,02,21,0ffadb' 
'01,02,VM001,02,21,0aadbcd'
'01,02,VM001,02,21,012adbc'

I want make into string like this :

"['01,02,VM001,02,21,0aadbcd'], ['01,02,VM001,02,21,0aadbcd'],['01,02,VM001,02,21,012adbc']"

My code like this:

datalist = " ".join(map(str,data)).replace ("'","")

data is list that get from read CSv file. But I get like this :

"[01,02,VM001,02,21,0aadbcd], 
[01,02,VM001,02,21,0aadbcd],
[01,02,VM001,02,21,012adbc]"

Thanks for your help

If the data in your CSV file is row based

with open(filename, 'r') as input_file:
    datalist = []
    for line in input_file:
        datalist.append(line.strip().split(','))

will read in each line at a time, and strip whitespace and new line characters, and split it based on your comma delimiter.

If you're getting that error, you must be altering line before trying to strip it as it will be a string as returned by the file iterator. Are you trying to split before strip ?
