How to use CSV In Python

 We use csv.reader() to convert the TSV file object to csv.reader object. And then pass the delimiter as ‘\t’ to the csv.reader. The delimiter is used to indicate the character which will be separating each field.

Syntax:

with open("filename.tsv") as file:
    tsv_file = csv.reader(file, delimiter="\t")

Example: Program Using csv

with open("GeekforGeeks.tsv") as file:
       
    # Passing the TSV file to 
    # reader() function
    # with tab delimiter
    # This function will
    # read data from file
    tsv_file = csv.reader(file, delimiter="\t")
     
    # printing data line by line
    for line in tsv_file:
        print(line)
