CSV

Convert a CSV file into a python list of dictionaries for each row

For instance the following CSV:

Title,Author,Year
Think Python,Allen B. Downey,2004
Programming Computer Vision with Python, Jan Erik Solem,2012

Is converted onto:

{'Author': 'Allen B. Downey', 'Title': 'Think Python', 'Year': '2004'}
{'Author': ' Jan Erik Solem', 'Title': 'Programming Computer Vision with Python', 'Year': '2012'}

Reading CSV as a dictionary...

#!/usr/bin/env python3
import csv

csvfilename = 'your.csv'
with open(csvfilename, newline='') as csvfile:
    csvreader = csv.DictReader(csvfile)
    headers_as_keys_dict = [r for r in csvreader]
    print(headers_as_keys_dict)
    for entry in headers_as_keys_dict:
    	print(entry)

Reading a geoip database, nb uses

pip install ipaddress

    # print from_ip, to_ip, cc
