Python - Google Colab read csv

It is possible to read csv into Google Colab by several ways. For reading csv from online folder basic read w/o permission is enough, but for usage of Google Drive File System, authorisation is needed. E.g.


  1. basic csv read - use pandas, os, csv, etc.

  2. read csv from Google Drive with Mount Authorisation


1.


# use pandas

import pandas as pd


# use os to work with mac file system

import os

os.getcwd()

os.chdir('/datalab')


# get current work directory by pwd

pwd

'/content'


# get current work directory by pwd

df = pd.read_csv('survey_results_public.csv')

schema_df = pd.read_csv('survey_results_schema.csv')



2.


# Upload csv to google colab and read csv

from google.colab import drive drive.mount('/content/gdrive')


# Click the generated link and go to the URL below



Enter your authorization code: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx



Mounted at /content/gdrive



# or get current work directory by os

import os

os.getcwd()

os.listdir()

'/content'


['.config',

'survey_results_public.csv',

'gdrive',

'survey_results_schema.csv',

'sample_data']



# Read dataset to data frame


from google.colab import drive

import pandas as pd df=pd.read_csv('gdrive/MyDrive/Dataset_for_Colab/fake_job_postings.csv') df
