Рow to find the ordinal variables in a .csv file in python?

Is there any better tools than Python for handling CSV/TSV file?

  • So far I find Python is the best tool to process CSV/TSV because it's easy, fast and support Unicode well. But I'd like to know new things. Is R language or something else better? The only flaw I find in Python for this kind of jobs is http://bugs.python.org/issue9680, which got me problem when use with Gnuplot, due to the wrong order of columns. By the way, I'd like to know better plotting solutions in Python too. Is matplotlib or something else better?

  • Answer:

    You can try the read_csv method in pandas module. It is smarter than simple csv (if your csv file is not very huge). Matplotlib is quite good for plotting.
