Convert complex comma-separated string into Python dictionary

I am getting following string format from csv file in Pandas
"title = matrix, genre = action, year = 2000, rate = 8"
How can I change the string value into a python dictionary like this:
movie = "title = matrix, genre = action, year = 2000, rate = 8"
movie = {
"title": "matrix",
"genre": "action",
"year": "1964",
"rate":"8"
}

You can split the string and then convert it into a dictionary.
A sample code is given below
movie = "title = matrix, genre = action, year = 2000, rate = 8"
movie = movie.split(",")
# print(movie)
tempMovie = [i.split("=") for i in movie]
movie = {}
for i in tempMovie:
movie[i[0].strip()] = i[1].strip()
print(movie)

For the solution you can use regex
import re
input_user = "title = matrix, genre = action, year = 2000, rate = 8"
# Create a pattern to match the key-value pairs
pattern = re.compile(r"(\w+) = ([\w,]+)" )
# Find all matches in the input string
matches = pattern.findall(input_user)
# Convert the matches to a dictionary
result = {key: value for key, value in matches}
print(result)
The result:
{'title': 'matrix,', 'genre': 'action,', 'year': '2000,', 'rate': '8'}
I hope this can solve your problem.

movie = "title = matrix, genre = action, year = 2000, rate = 8"
dict_all_movies = {}
for idx in df.index:
str_movie = df.at[idx, str_movie_column]
movie_dict = dict(item.split(" = ") for item in str_movie.split(", "))
dict_all_movies[str(idx)] = movie_dict

How do I converted my textfile to a nested json in python

I have a text file which I want to convert to a nested json structure. The text file is :

I want the output to be :

"Stage": "parquet at RawDataPublisher.scala:53",
},
},
}
I tried defaultdict method but it was generating a json with values as list which was not acceptable to make a table on it. Here's what I did:
import json
from collections import defaultdict
INPUT = 'demofile.txt'
dict1 = defaultdict(list)
def convert():
with open(INPUT) as f:
for line in f:
command, description = line.strip().split(None, 1)
dict1[command].append(description.strip())
OUTPUT = open("demo1file.json", "w")
json.dump(dict1, OUTPUT, indent = 4, sort_keys = False)
and was getting this:
"Report_for": [ "Reconciliation" ],
"Execution_of": [ "application_1673496470638_0001" ],
"Spark_version": [ "2.4.7-amzn-0" ],
"Java_version": [ "1.8.0_352 (Amazon.com Inc.)" ],
"Start_time": [ "2023-01-12 09:45:13.360000" ],
"Job_ID": [
"0",
"1",
"2", ....
]]]
I just want to convert my text to the above json format so that I can build a table on top of it.

There's no way, python or one of it's libraries can figure out your nesting requirements, if a flat text is being given as an input. How should it know Stages are inside Jobs...for example.
You will have to programmatically tell your application how it works.
I hacked an example which should work, you can go from there (assuming input_str is what you posted as your file content):
# define your nesting structure
nesting = {'Job_ID': {'Stage_ID': {}}}
upper_nestings = []
upper_nesting_keys = []
# your resulting dictionary
result_dict = {}
# your "working" dictionaries
current_nesting = nesting
working_dict = result_dict
# parse each line of the input string
for line_str in input_str.split('\n'):
# key is the first word, value are all consecutive words
line = line_str.split(' ')
# if key is in nesting, create new sub-dict, all consecutive entries are part of the sub-dict
if line[0] in current_nesting.keys():
current_nesting = current_nesting[line[0]]
upper_nestings.append(line[0])
upper_nesting_keys.append(line[1])
working_dict[line_str] = {}
working_dict = working_dict[line_str]
else:
# if a new "parallel" or "upper" nesting is detected, reset your nesting structure
if line[0] in upper_nestings:
nests = upper_nestings[:upper_nestings.index(line[0])]
keys = upper_nesting_keys[:upper_nestings.index(line[0])]
working_dict = result_dict
for nest in nests:
working_dict = working_dict[' '.join([nest, keys[nests.index(nest)]])]
upper_nestings = upper_nestings[:upper_nestings.index(line[0])+1]
upper_nesting_keys = upper_nesting_keys[:upper_nestings.index(line[0])]
upper_nesting_keys.append(line[1])
current_nesting = nesting
for nest in upper_nestings:
current_nesting = current_nesting[nest]
working_dict[line_str] = {}
working_dict = working_dict[line_str]
continue
working_dict[line[0]] = ' '.join(line[1:])
print(result_dict)

}
}
and should pretty much be generically usable for all kinds of nesting definitions from a flat input. Let me know if it works for you!

How do I only return a specific value in a set of values in an API JSON response?

I only want to return the date, and a single value at a time from the "data": [ key that's within "dataset": {.
Here's the code I have so far, but am stuck as to make this happen:
r = requests.get(url=f"https://data.nasdaq.com/api/v3/datasets/QOR/{symbol}/data.json?api_key={apikey}")
d = r.json()
dataset = d['dataset_data']
data = dataset['data']
column_names = dataset['column_names']
date = column_names[0]
ercrush = column_names[1]
calendar = column_names[2]
tradingdays = column_names[3]

weeklies = column_names[6]
ivrank30 = column_names[7]
ivper30 = column_names[8]
ivrate30 = column_names[9]
ivrank60 = column_names[10]
ivper60 = column_names[11]
ivrate60 =column_names[12]
ivrank90 = column_names[13]
ivper90 = column_names[14]
ivrank90 = column_names[15]
ivrank360= column_names[16]
ivper360 = column_names[17]
ivrank360 = column_names[18]
values = data[0]
For example - I'm only trying to return the Date, defined as column_names[0] paired with the value of "2022-08-05" that's within "data": [ , etc.
How would I go about doing this?
Thanks so much for any help.

I figured out the issue!
I created another variable called results = values and now I can pick the values I want and easily match them with the column_names!
Awesome!
The finished code that works:

Python Append Data from Loop into Data frame

I created this code where I am able to pull the data I want but not able to sort it as it should be. I am guessing it has to do with the way I am appending each item by ignoring index but I can't find my way around it.
This is my code:
import json
import pandas as pd
#load json object
with open("c:\Sample.json","r",encoding='utf-8') as file:
data = file.read()
data2 = json.loads(data)
print("Type:", type(data2))
cls=['Image', 'Email', 'User', 'Members', 'Time']
df = pd.DataFrame(columns = cls )
for d in data2['mydata']:
for k,v in d.items():
#print(k)
if k == 'attachments':
#print(d.get('attachments')[0]['id'])
image = (d.get('attachments')[0]['id'])
df=df.append({'Image':image},ignore_index = True)
#df['Message'] = image
if k == 'author_user_email':
#print(d.get('author_user_email'))
email = (d.get('author_user_email'))
df=df.append({'Email':email}, ignore_index = True)
#df['Email'] = email
if k == 'author_user_name':
#print(d.get('author_user_name'))
user = (d.get('author_user_name'))
df=df.append({'User':user}, ignore_index = True)
#df['User'] = user
if k == 'room_name':
#print(d.get('room_name'))
members = (d.get('room_name'))
df=df.append({'Members':members}, ignore_index = True)
#df['Members'] = members
if k == 'ts_iso':
#print(d.get('ts_iso'))
time = (d.get('ts_iso'))
df=df.append({'Time':time}, ignore_index = True)
#df['Time'] = time
df
print('Finished getting Data')
df1 = (df.head())
print(df)
print(df.head())
df.to_csv(r'c:\sample.csv', encoding='utf-8')
The code gives me this as the result
I am looking to get this

Any help would be appreciated. I am new to python and am learning on my own.

Try:
import json
import pandas as pd
with open("your_data.json", "r") as f_in:
data = json.load(f_in)
tmp = []
for d in data["mydata"]:
image = d.get("attachments", [{"id": None}])[0]["id"]
email = d.get("author_user_email")
user = d.get("author_user_name")
members = d.get("room_name")
time = d.get("ts_iso")
tmp.append((image, email, user, members, time))
df = pd.DataFrame(tmp, columns=["Image", "Email", "User", "Members", "Time"])
print(df)
Prints:
Image Email User Members Time

Although the other answer does work, pandas has a built in reader for json files pd.read_json: https://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/version/1.1.3/reference/api/pandas.read_json.html
It has the benefit of being able to handle very large datasets via chunking, as well as processing quite a few different formats. The other answer would not be performant for a large dataset.
This would get you started:
import pandas as pd
df = pd.read_json("c:\Sample.json")

The probblem is that append() adds a new row. So, you have to use at[] https://pandas.pydata.org/docs/reference/api/pandas.DataFrame.at.html specifying the index/row. Se below. Some print/debug messages were left and path to input and output files was changed a little because I'm on Linux.
import json
import pandas as pd
import pprint as pp
#load json object
with open("Sample.json","r",encoding='utf-8') as file:
data = file.read()
data2 = json.loads(data)
#pp.pprint(data2)
cls=['Image', 'Email', 'User', 'Members', 'Time']
df = pd.DataFrame(columns = cls )
pp.pprint(df)
index = 0
for d in data2['mydata']:
for k,v in d.items():
#print(k)
if k == 'attachments':
#print(d.get('attachments')[0]['id'])
image = (d.get('attachments')[0]['id'])
df.at[index, 'Image'] = image
#df['Message'] = image
if k == 'author_user_email':
#print(d.get('author_user_email'))
email = (d.get('author_user_email'))
df.at[index, 'Email'] = email
#df['Email'] = email
if k == 'author_user_name':
#print(d.get('author_user_name'))
user = (d.get('author_user_name'))
df.at[index, 'User'] = user
#df['User'] = user
if k == 'room_name':
#print(d.get('room_name'))
members = (d.get('room_name'))
df.at[index, 'Members'] = members
#df['Members'] = members
if k == 'ts_iso':
#print(d.get('ts_iso'))
time = (d.get('ts_iso'))
df.at[index, 'Time'] = time
#df['Time'] = time
index += 1
# start indexing from 0
df.reset_index()
# replace empty str/cells witn None
df.fillna('None', inplace=True)
pp.pprint(df)
print('Finished getting Data')
df1 = (df.head())
print(df)

df.to_csv(r'sample.csv', encoding='utf-8')

How to transform JSON SList to pandas dataframe?

a = ['{"type": "book",',
'"title": "sometitle",',
'"author": [{"name": "somename"}],',
'"year": "2000",',
'"identifier": [{"type": "ISBN", "id": "1234567890"}],',
'"publisher": "somepublisher"}', '',
'{"type": "book",', '
'"title": "sometitle2",',
'"author": [{"name": "somename2"}],',
'"year": "2001",',
'"identifier": [{"type": "ISBN", "id": "1234567890"}],',
'"publisher": "somepublisher"}', '']
I have this convoluted SList and I would like to ultimately get it into a tidy pandas dataframe.
I have tried a number of things, for example:
i = iter(a)
b = dict(zip(i, i))
Unfortunately, this creates a dictionary that looks even worse:
{'{"type": "book",':
...
Where I had an SList of dictionaries, I now have a dictionary of dictionaries.
I also tried
pd.json_normalize(a)
but this throws an error message AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'values'
I also tried
r = json.dumps(a.l)
loaded_r = json.loads(r)
print(loaded_r)
but this yields a list
['{"type": "book",',
...
Again, in the end I'd like to have a pandas dataframe like this
type title author year ...
book sometitle somename 2000 ...
book sometitle2 somename2 2001
Obviously, I haven't really gotten to the point where I can feed the data to a pandas function. Everytime I did that, the functions screamed at me...

a = ['{"type": "book",',
'"title": "sometitle",',
'"author": [{"name": "somename"}],',
'"year": "2000",',
'"identifier": [{"type": "ISBN", "id": "1234567890"}],',
'"publisher": "somepublisher"}', '',
'{"type": "book",',
'"title": "sometitle2",',
'"author": [{"name": "somename2"}],',
'"year": "2001",',
'"identifier": [{"type": "ISBN", "id": "1234567890"}],',
'"publisher": "somepublisher"}', '']
b = "[%s]" % ''.join([',' if i == '' else i for i in a ]).strip(',')
data = json.loads(b)
df = pd.DataFrame(data)
print(df)
type title author year \
0 book sometitle [{'name': 'somename'}] 2000
1 book sometitle2 [{'name': 'somename2'}] 2001
identifier publisher
0 [{'type': 'ISBN', 'id': '1234567890'}] somepublisher
1 [{'type': 'ISBN', 'id': '1234567890'}] somepublisher
