Read a tab-separated table.

Python: Select a delimiter explicitly rather than splitting lines manually.

Python snippet.py
import csv
from io import StringIO
for row in csv.DictReader(StringIO("name\tscore\nAda\t98\n"), delimiter="\t"):
    print(row["name"], int(row["score"]))

Expected output EXAMPLE

Ada 98

Details

Save as snippet.py and run python3 snippet.py. Uses the Python standard library. Select a delimiter explicitly rather than splitting lines manually.

Test inputs, results and environment

The exact published code ran in a dedicated Linux test container with prepared inputs. Unprivileged snippet process, external networking disabled, read-only root filesystem, and a fresh temporary working directory. Fixtures and output records are isolated from the application database. Testing covers this example and its stated checks, not every input, operating system, or runtime version. The Linux container shares its host's kernel; this is not a native Windows test.
