"""This script converts a CSV file with headers to XML or JSON, depending on the command line argument supplied.

i have already finished the first function parse_csv

def parse_csv(filename):

new_file = open(filename, "r")  csv_reader = csv.reader(new_file)  file_header= csv_reader.next() new_lst = [] for row in csv_reader: new_lst.append(row) 

return (file_header,new_lst) 

now i want to wite function to convert it to xml

def covert_2_xml(list):

and another function to convert it to json

def convert_2_json(list):

i have to hard copy only records and patient and all the csv file information will be given when i call the functions later passing the file name as a parameter.

here is the sample input file:

mrn,dob,firstName,lastName,icd9_1,icd9_2 1111,9/1/75,Jonathan,Beyers,414.01,508.2 2222,8/5/70,Melissa,Johnston,508.0,485 

the xml output should be like:

  1111 9/1/75 Jonathan Beyers 414.01 508.2   2222 8/5/70 Melissa Johnston 508.0 485   

and the json output should be like:

{ "records":[ { "patient":{ "mrn":"1111", "dob":"9/1/75", "firstName":"Jonathan", "lastName":"Jonathan", "icd9_1":"414.01", "icd9_2":"508.2" } }, { "patient":{ "mrn":"2222", "dob":"8/5/70", "firstName":"Melissa", "lastName":"Johnston", "icd9_1":"508.0", "icd9_2":"485" } } ] }
