[Tutor] CSV Ouptut concern...

[Dipo Elegbede]

i wrote a code for extracting information from a csv file into another csv
file.
it worked well but i have an immediate challenge i can't seem to fix.
the new file that is created has an row and then an empty row and then a row
all through the file. how can i make the empty rows not be part of the file.

here is the code:

import csv

reader = csv.reader(open('stateparty.csv'))
counter = 1
fh = open('stateparty2.csv','w')
writer = csv.writer(fh)
for row in reader:
      if counter == 1:
          parties_row = row
      elif counter > 2:
          for index, column in enumerate(row[1:-1]):
              if column == "1":
              writer.writerow([row[0],parties_row[index+1]])
      counter += 1
fh.close()


and the output has something like this:


Benue,ACN

Benue,ANPP

Benue,APGA

Benue,CPC

Benue,PDP

Kogi,ACN

Kogi,ADC

Kogi,ANPP

Kogi,APGA

Kogi,CDC

Kogi,CPC

Kogi,DPP


i am not expecting the spaces in between each line, kindly help with the
challenge...

thanks.
