I want to read a .csv file in python.
Is there a prettier way to do it?
import csv
fName = "aFile.csv"
try:
with open(fName, 'rb') as f:
reader = csv.reader(f)
for row in reader:
pass #do stuff here
except IOError:
print "Could not read file:", fName
I guess I misunderstood what was being asked. Re-re-reading, it looks like Tim's answer is what you want. Let me just add this, however: if you want to catch an exception from open, then open has to be wrapped in a try. If the call to open is in the header of a with, then the with has to be in a try to catch the exception. There's no way around that.
So the answer is either: "Tim's way" or "No, you're doing it correctly.".
Previous unhelpful answer to which all the comments refer:
import os
if os.path.exists(fName):
with open(fName, 'rb') as f:
try:
# do stuff
except : # whatever reader errors you care about
# handle error
