Opening a csv file that's given in a function












-1















I'm trying to open a file that is given when the function is ran and the name of the file is from the function.



Here's my current code:



import csv



def a_test(filename):

    with open(filename) as file:

        reader = csv.reader(file)

        for row in reader:

                print(row)


When I run this and type a_test(media-song.csv) (media-song.csv being a file in the same directory), I get this error:



NameError: name 'media' is not defined





python

  • you need to pass media-song.csv as a string. So: a_test("media-song.csv")

  • Rename the file by removing the - from the name. Apparently, python is treating media and song as operands to the subtraction - operation. Example name could be MediaSong.csv.
