How do i add multiple nodes into NPM using Python

garystorr

Hi, 

I am new to using Python and have the add_node.py script from Github. This is fine if i want to add a single node with the node IP etc within the script, but i have a large list that id like to add. How can i go through the list line by line from either an Excel, csv or a txt file and import them all in one go? I have a similar script working in powershell but need to get one working for Python. 

Any help would be much appriciated. 

Thanks

I would suggest to do the following:

(1) Read all the Excel file and columns 

(2) Convert the dataset into a Pandas DataFrame

(3) Blank cells should be replaced by 'NaN'

(4) Iterate the DataFrame  and use the swisClient.create method in order to create the new element.

(5) Repeat (4)  with custom properties as you need first to create the node to get the URI and assign custom properties.
