csv - Python: Parse string objects into python objects from a file -

i've got .csv file , need information it. if open file, can see 2 lines in it, says "data" , "notes", , need information these 2 variables have.

when open .csv file, shows these lines:

data =  [0,1,2,3,4,5,3,2,3,4,5,]  notes = [{"text": "hello", "position":(2,3)}, {"text": "bye", "position":(4,5)}] 

to open file use:

import csv  class a()   def __init__(self):     #some stuff in here    def get_data(self):     file = open(self.file_name, "r")     data = csv.reader(file, delimiter = "\t)     rows = [row row in data] 

now, read information in data, write:

    line in row[1][0]:       try:         value_list = int(line)         print value_list        except valueerror:         pass 

and, can create list these values , print it. now, need read data "notes", can see, list dictionaries elements. need do, read "position" element inside each dictionary , print it.

this code have:

   notes in row[3][0]:      if notes["position"]:        print notes["position"] 

but this, gives me error: typeerror: string indices must integers, not str

how can access these elements of each dictionary , print it? hope can me.

this .csv file trying information.

you can change last part of code to:

for note in eval(rows[3][0].strip("notes = ")):     if note["position"]:         print note["position"] 

if need position actual tuple instead of string, can change last line to:

print tuple(note["position"])
