convert csv file to list of dictionaries

csv, dictionary, list, python

Solution

Use `csv.DictReader`:

import csv

with open('test.csv') as f:
    a = [{k: int(v) for k, v in row.items()}
        for row in csv.DictReader(f, skipinitialspace=True)]

Will result in :

[{'col2': 2, 'col3': 3, 'col1': 1}, {'col2': 5, 'col3': 6, 'col1': 4}]

Problem

I have a csv file ``` col1, col2, col3 1, 2, 3 4, 5, 6 ``` I want to create a list of dictionary from this csv. output as : ``` a= [{'col1':1, 'col2':2, 'col3':3}, {'col1':4, 'col2':5, 'col3':6}] ``` How can I do this?
