问题描述

Background: I'm taking data in my Python/AppEngine project and creating a .tsv file so that I can create charts with d3.js. Right now I'm writing the CSV with each page load; I want to instead store the file once in Google Cloud Storage and read it from there.

How I'm currently writing the file, each time the page is loaded!:

def get(self):  ## this gets called when loading myfile.tsv from d3.js
    datalist = MyEntity.all()
    self.response.headers['Content-Type'] = 'text/csv'
    writer = csv.writer(self.response.out, delimiter='	')
    writer.writerow(['field1', 'field2'])
    for eachco in datalist:
        writer.writerow([eachco.variable1, eachco.variable2])

And while inefficient, this is working just fine.

Using this Google Cloud Storage documentation, I've been trying to get something like this working:

def get(self):
    filename = '/bucket/myfile.tsv'
    datalist = MyEntity.all()
    bucket_name = os.environ.get('BUCKET_NAME', app_identity.get_default_gcs_bucket_name())
    write_retry_params = gcs.RetryParams(backoff_factor=1.1)
    writer = csv.writer(self.response.out, delimiter='	')
    gcs_file = gcs.open(filename, 'w', content_type='text/csv', retry_params=write_retry_params)
    gcs_file.write(writer.writerow(['field1', 'field2']))
    for eachco in datalist:
        gcs_file.write(writer.writerow([eachco.variable1, eachco.variable2]))
    gcs_file.close()

But I'm getting:

TypeError: Expected str but got <type 'NoneType'>.

I thought that the output of csv.writer would be a string, so I'm not sure why I'm getting the TypeError.

So I can think of two situations:

1. I've got something screwed up in my code that writes the tsv to Cloud Storage. It should be simple to iterate through and write a TSV/CSV file to Cloud Storage though, right?
2. I've gone about this the completely wrong way entirely, and should maybe even use BlobStore or db.TextProperty() to store this .tsv data. (The files aren't that big; definitely well under 1MB)

I'd appreciate any help!

You're still attempting to create the writer on a response:

writer = csv.writer(self.response.out, delimiter='	')

You need to write to the GCS file. Something like this:

    datalist = MyEntity.all()
    bucket_name = os.environ.get('BUCKET_NAME', app_identity.get_default_gcs_bucket_name())
    filename = os.path.join(bucket_name, 'myfile.tsv')
    write_retry_params = gcs.RetryParams(backoff_factor=1.1)
    gcs_file = gcs.open(filename, 'w', content_type='text/csv', retry_params=write_retry_params)
    writer = csv.writer(gcs_file, delimiter='	')
    writer.writerow(['field1', 'field2'])
    for eachco in datalist:
        writer.writerow([eachco.variable1, eachco.variable2])
    gcs_file.close()

Notes:

• not actually tested
• I also adjusted the filename to use bucket_name
• if you do this in the get() request you may want to check if the file already exists and, if so, use it, otherwise you'd be still generating it at every request. Alternatively you could move this code on a task or in the .tsv upload handler.
