How to save a DataFrame in a tabulation delimited file (.tsv) in Python?
alphonsio

In Python, to create a tabulation delimited file from a dataframe, the best option is to use the .to_csv() method while specifying the delimiter character (sep='\t'):

myDataframe.to_csv('filename.tsv', sep = '\t')

To prevent the index of each row from being stored in the file, add index=False as a second parameter:

myDataframe.to_csv('filename.tsv', sep = '\t', index=False)

To save a DataFrame as a tabulation delimited file (.tsv) in Python, you can use the to_csv() method from the pandas library. By specifying the sep='\t' parameter, you tell pandas to use a tab character as the delimiter between columns.

Here's how you can do it:

import pandas as pd

# Example DataFrame
data = {
    'Name': ['Alice', 'Bob', 'Charlie'],
    'Age': [24, 30, 22],
    'City': ['New York', 'Los Angeles', 'Chicago']
}

df = pd.DataFrame(data)

# Save the DataFrame to a .tsv file
df.to_csv('output_file.tsv', sep='\t', index=False)

Explanation:

  • output_file.tsv: The name of the file you want to save.
  • sep='\t': Specifies that the columns should be separated by tabs.
  • index=False: Ensures that the row indices are not written to the file.

After running this code, you'll have a file named output_file.tsv in your working directory, with the data from the DataFrame saved in a tab-separated format.
