AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'open'

Question

I am trying to open a .csv compressed to a .lzma file in Linux using the following code:

import lzma
import pandas as pd

myfile= \'/home/stacey/work/roll_158_oe         


        

Answer 1

Apparently you need to call a class from the lzma module to open the file:

import lzma  # python 3, try lzmaffi in python 2
with open('one-csv-file.xz') as compressed:
    with lzma.LZMAFile(compressed) as uncompressed:
        for line in uncompressed:
            do_stuff_with(line)
