python TypeError: join() argument must be str, bytes, or os.PathLike object, not 'list'-CodePudding

I have a CSV containing 28 UUIDs

I would like to create a python loop which runs each uuid individually and places it into a filepath

e.g. Org/datasets/uuid/data

I have tried the below but failing

import os
import csv

uuid = []
with open('C:/Users/Public/file.csv', 'r') as file:
  reader = csv.reader(file)
  for row in reader:
    uuid.append(row)

for i in uuid:
  filepath = os.path.join("org/datasets/",  i , "/data")
  print(filepath)

error is TypeError: join() argument must be str, bytes, or os.PathLike object, not 'list'

The CSV is very simplistic and looks as follows:

uuid	blank
uuid1	blank
uuid2	blank

CodePudding user response：

In your for loop ever value of i corresponds to a row in your csv file. As such, it comes out as a list, something you cannot concat against a str. Instead, you should be taking the first element of your list(the actual uuid)

for i in uuid:
  filepath = os.path.join("org/datasets/",  i[0] , "/data")
  print(filepath)
