open a data file and return a tuple in python

To open a data file (such as a CSV file) and return a tuple in Python, you can use the csv library which allows you to work with CSV files.

Here is an example code snippet that opens a CSV file and returns a tuple containing the data:

main.py
import csv

def open_csv_file(filename):
    with open(filename, 'r') as csv_file:
        data = csv.reader(csv_file)
        data_tuple = tuple(map(tuple, data))
        return data_tuple

8 lines

In this code, we first import the csv library. Then we define a function called open_csv_file which takes a filename as its argument.

Inside the function, we use the with statement to open the CSV file in read mode. We use the csv.reader() function to read the contents of the file.

Next, we use the map() function to apply the tuple() function to each row of data, creating a tuple of tuples. Finally, we return the tuple.

You can call this function like this: data = open_csv_file('filename.csv')
