I'm building a tool for the company where I work and I've built a program that returns different statistics from any csv file, of course with an specific data structure. Now, my issue is that I don't know how to do is to request the user to upload a file. In order to create this program I've been using as practice mode,
this: df = pd.read_csv('',delimiter=';', encoding='ISO-8859-1')
Any ideas?
If you need some basic ui that the user can interact so they can select a file, you may want to consider the easygui
module.
Or if you don't want to install a new module, just use tkinter
built in.
Try this:
from tkinter import *
from tkinter.filedialog import askopenfilename
import pandas as pd
Tk().withdraw()
print("Please select a csv file to load")
file = askopenfilename()
df = pd.read_csv(file, header = 0)
Hope this helps :)) . Check out the easygui
module too. The documentation is brief so you can get a hang of it after a few tries.
