I have a text file that contains Road Name types paired with their abbreviated form.
For example:
...
Avenue,Av
Road,Rd
South East,SE
Terrace,Tce
...
How do I a create a dictionary variable from this CSV file in python 2.5.1 so I can get it in this form?
{...'Avenue': 'Av', 'Road': 'Rd', 'South East': 'SE', 'Terrace': 'Tce'...}
Would csv.DictWriter do the job?
Regards

datas="""Avenue,Av Road,Rd South East,SE Terrace,Tce""".split("\n") # The shortest way : print dict([(l.split(",")[0], l.split(",")[1]) for l in datas]) # a more understandable way lst=[] for l in datas: sl=l.split(",") lst.append((sl[0], sl[1])) d=dict(lst) print d

After a bit of research, I believe I have a solution.
f=open("txtfile.txt")
for line in f:
a,b=map( str, line.split(','))
d[a]=b.strip('\n')
f.close()
print dAlternative solutions still welcome
