Files & data
Read and write files safely; parse JSON, CSV, and common text formats.
Create a Personal Knowledge Base That Searches Notes Instantly in Python
Build a lightweight personal knowledge base with JSON storage and instant case-insensitive full-text search across note titles and content.
import json
import re
import sys
class PersonalKnowledgeBase:
def __init__(self, file_path="kb_notes.json"):
self.file_path = file_path
self.notes = self._load_notes()
def _load_notes(self):
try:
with open(self.file_path, "r") as f:
return json.load(f)
…Normalize CSV Column Names to snake_case in Python
Convert CSV header names to snake_case using a regular expression and write the updated file in place.
import csv
import re
import sys
def to_snake_case(header):
header = re.sub(r"(?<=[a-z0-9])(?=[A-Z])", "_", header)
header = re.sub(r"[^a-zA-Z0-9]+", "_", header).strip("_").lower()
return header
def normalize_csv_headers(input_path, output_path=None):
with open(input_path, newline="", encoding="utf…Browse by section
