    <p>[Using Python 3.x] I'm trying to create a CSV file with two columns, one containing fake e-mail addresses, the second column should contain a certain country code as specified in the respective function.</p> <p>I would like the country codes to be - at least - uniformly distributed assigned to each e-mail address. But it would be great if there was also a way that they were not uniformly distributed. For instance where one country could would be assigned to 30% of the e-mail addresses, another one 10%, etc.</p> <p>My biggest struggle is with creating a dictionary where the key is the e-mail address and the value the country code, and thus zipping two lists that have unequal length and not having empty values (None). On a side note, I thought creating a dictionary would be the best way to do so, but I'm very new to programming and python and hence if you have a better solution please do share!!</p> <p>This is my code:</p> <pre><code>from random import choice, randint from string import ascii_lowercase from itertools import zip_longest import csv def gen_name(length): """"Generates a random name with the given amount of characters.""" return ''.join(choice(ascii_lowercase) for i in range(length)) def email_gen(): """Generates a fake email address.""" user = gen_name(randint(5, 10)) host = gen_name(randint(5, 15)) return user + "@" + host + ".com" def gen_plain_email_list(n): """Generates a list of n amount of random e-mail addresses""" emaillist = [] for i in range(n): emaillist.append(email_gen()) return emaillist def gen_email_dict(n): """Generates a dictionary where the key is an e-mail address and the value a random country code.""" email_list = [] cc = ['us', 'gb', 'de', 'fr', 'it', 'nl', 'es', 'ae', 'br', 'au'] # Creating a list of n amount of e-mail addresses for i in range(n): email_list.append(email_gen()) # Creates dictionary with with an e-mail address from email_list and # a random country code from the cc list email_dict = dict(zip_longest(email_list, cc, fillvalue=choice(cc))) return email_dict def dict_to_csv(filename, n): with open(filename, 'w', newline='') as f: w = csv.writer(f) w.writerows(gen_email_dict(n).items()) dict_to_csv('test.csv', 1000) </code></pre> <p>Thanks in advance for the help!</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
