    text
    copied!<p>I am trying to batch load some dummy content from a CSV file into a development site to do some testing. I'm using Plone 4.0.1, with Python 2.6.5, on a Mac OS X 10.6.6. </p> <p>1) I thought I would create a quick script that would iterate through a CSV file and then create some of my custom contenttypes: (Similar to <a href="http://plone.org/documentation/kb/batch-adding-users" rel="nofollow">http://plone.org/documentation/kb/batch-adding-users</a>). In Plone 3, I had been able to parse CSV files in this fasion.</p> <p>However, I got an AttributeError on split. I'm copying from my ipython (ipzope) testing:</p> <pre><code>&gt;&gt;&gt; portal &lt;PloneSite at /Plone&gt; &gt;&gt;&gt; portal['Scripts']['dummydata.csv'] &lt;File at /Plone/Scripts/dummydata.csv&gt; &gt;&gt;&gt; dummy = portal['Scripts']['dummydata.csv'] &gt;&gt;&gt; dummy &lt;File at /Plone/Scripts/dummydata.csv&gt; &gt;&gt;&gt; dummy.data.split('\n') ------------------------------------------------------------ Traceback (most recent call last): File "&lt;ipython console&gt;", line 1, in &lt;module&gt; AttributeError: split &gt;&gt;&gt; dummy.split('\n') ------------------------------------------------------------ Traceback (most recent call last): File "&lt;ipython console&gt;", line 1, in &lt;module&gt; AttributeError: split </code></pre> <p>2) Ultimately, I'd like to use csv from the standard library, which also did not work.</p> <pre><code>&gt;&gt;&gt; import csv &gt;&gt;&gt; csv &lt;module 'csv' from '/Applications/Plone/Python-2.6/lib/python2.6/csv.pyc'&gt; &gt;&gt;&gt; spamReader = csv.reader(dummy, delimiter=',', quotechar='"') ------------------------------------------------------------ Traceback (most recent call last): File "&lt;ipython console&gt;", line 1, in &lt;module&gt; TypeError: argument 1 must be an iterator &gt;&gt;&gt; spamReader = csv.reader(dummy.data, delimiter=',', quotechar='"') ------------------------------------------------------------ Traceback (most recent call last): File "&lt;ipython console&gt;", line 1, in &lt;module&gt; TypeError: argument 1 must be an iterator </code></pre> <p>Any ideas?</p> <p>Best, Patrick</p>
