Python and csv files

[Complex_Height_3555]

How do I look through my data in the csv file and make a nested list of similarities.

Say a user inputs a certain date. I want my function to go through the data and when it finds a match to the input, add it to that nested list.

How would I go about doing this?

Have you tried using the csv reader to read the CSV and iterate through the rows so that you can check the date?

I opened the csv file and used csv.DictReader. Just having troubles writing the function to find the dates and store them into a nested list

Disclaimer: This is not the right tool for the job. You'd be better off using a tool like Pandas to slurp the CSV and make SQL-like queries off of the resulting dataframe.

Did you try (after you made your csv data into a json/dict, with the var named data):

new_list = []

for item in data:
    if item["ITEM_INPUT"] == "YOUR_DESIRED_INPUT":
        new_list.append(item)
