I'd like to store the following data in a data dictionary so that I can easily export it to a CSV file. The problem is that the columns for each school id are not always in the same order:

I'd like to be able to eventually output all data to a CSV file with the following headings:

school id|year|name|age|race|degree

Can I do this in Python?


This actually seems pretty easy. Process the file into a data structure, then export it into a csv.

school = None
headers = None
data = {}
for line in text.splitlines():
    if line.startswith("school id"):
        school = line.split('=')[1].strip()
        headers = None
        continue
    if school is not None and headers is None:
        headers = line.split('|')
        continue

    if school is not None and headers is not None and line:
        if not school in data:
            data[school] = []
        datum = dict(zip(headers, line.split('|')))
        data[school].append(datum)    

In [29]: data
