File I/O in Python: Examples from CS50's Introduction to Programming with Python

Welcome to the repository for my File I/O exploration in Python, inspired by CS50's Introduction to Programming with Python course. This repository contains various scripts demonstrating how to read from and write to files, manipulate CSV data, create GIFs, and more.

Contents

• costume.py: Generates GIF images from a series of input images.
• names.py: Reads names from a text file and prints a sorted list.
• students.py: Writes user input to a CSV file.
• shirt.py: Overlays a shirt image on top of another image.
• scourgify.py: Transforms and cleans CSV data.
• pizza.py: Displays CSV data as a formatted table.
• lines.py: Counts the number of lines of code in a Python file, excluding comments and blank lines.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Python 3.x
• Pillow library: Install using pip install pillow
• Tabulate library: Install using pip install tabulate

Usage

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/bonheurNE07/file_io.git
   cd file_io

2. Run the scripts with the appropriate input files. Below are some examples:

Generating a GIF from Images

$ python costume.py costume1.gif costume2.gif

Reading Names from a Text File

Ensure you have a names.txt file with names listed line by line.

python names.py

Writing User Input to a CSV File

python students.py

Overlaying a Shirt Image on Another Image

$ cd shirt
$ python shirt.py before1.jpg after1.jpg
$ python shirt.py before2.jpg after2.jpg
$ python shirt.py before3.jpg after3.jpg

Transforming and Cleaning CSV Data

$ cd scourgify
$ python scourgify.py before.csv after.csv

Displaying CSV Data as a Formatted Table

$ cd pizza
$ python pizza.py regular.csv

Counting Lines of Code

$ cd lines
$ python lines.py test.py

Conclusion

File I/O is a powerful feature in Python that allows us to read from and write to files, manipulate data, and perform various operations. The examples provided here are just a glimpse of what you can achieve with file handling in Python.

Feel free to check out the complete code, share your thoughts, and contribute to the project. I will continue to update the repository with more examples of file manipulations, including Excel and Word file handling. Happy coding!
