It's showing \n when printing the list

Question

The output:

{'name': 'Peter', 'surname': ' Abdilla', 'DOB': ' 22/02/1986', 'mobileNo': '79811526', 'locality': ' Zabbar\n'}
{'name': 'John', 'surname': ' Borg', 'DOB': ' 12/04/1982', 'mobileNo': '99887654', 'locality': ' Paola\n'}

The expected output is supposed to be:

{'name': 'Peter', 'surname': ' Abdilla', 'DOB': ' 22/02/1986', 'mobileNo': '79811526', 'locality': ' Zabbar'}
{'name': 'John', 'surname': ' Borg', 'DOB': ' 12/04/1982', 'mobileNo': '99887654', 'locality': ' Paola'}

Try this: `value = x.rstrip('\n').split(',')` – Cow Dec 30 '22 at 10:52 — Cow, Dec 30 '22 at 10:52
```contact = dict(tuple(zip(keys,value.strip('\n'))))``` – Maxwell D. Dorliea Dec 30 '22 at 10:53 — Maxwell D. Dorliea, Dec 30 '22 at 10:53

Each line in CSV has an endLine character which is '\n', so when you try to read the contents of the csv file line by line, '\n' will also be in the string.

So, we just need to replace the '\n' with an empty string.

To fix this, use the python's string replace() function.

while True:
    x = file.readline()
    x = x.replace('\n', '')
    if x == '':
        break
    else:
        value = x.split(',')
        contact = dict(tuple(zip(keys,value)))
        filename.append(contact)
