read all csv files in a folder in python

To read all CSV files in a folder in Python, you can use the glob module along with the built-in csv module. Here's a step-by-step approach:

  1. Import the required modules:
main.py
import csv
import glob
23 chars
3 lines
  1. Define the path to the folder containing the CSV files:
main.py
folder_path = 'path/to/folder'
31 chars
2 lines
  1. Use the glob module to get a list of all CSV files in the folder:
main.py
csv_files = glob.glob(folder_path + '/*.csv')
46 chars
2 lines
  1. Iterate over the list of CSV files and read each file using the csv module:
main.py
for file_path in csv_files:
    with open(file_path, 'r') as csv_file:
        reader = csv.reader(csv_file)
        for row in reader:
            # Do something with each row of the CSV file
193 chars
6 lines

In the above code, you can replace # Do something with each row of the CSV file with the actual processing logic you want to perform on each row.

Make sure to replace 'path/to/folder' with the actual path to the folder containing the CSV files.

Hope this helps!
