Python Adventures

Problem
I had a CSV file and (1) I wanted to add some new columns, and (2) I wanted to reorder the columns.

Solution
Instead of doing it manually, I used the pandas library for this job.

Input file:

number,season,episode,airdate,title,TVmaze link

Python code:

import pandas as pd

def main():
    df = pd.read_csv('bad.csv')

    # add these two extra columns to the end
    df["prod_code"] = ""
    df["special"] = ""
    cols = df.columns.tolist()
    # reorder columns
    cols = cols[:3] + [cols[-2]] + cols[3:5] + [cols[-1]] + [cols[-3]]
    # "commit" the reordering
    df = df[cols]
    # write the output without Pandas' first index column
    df.to_csv('out.csv', index=False)
