This is a simple script to generate a CSV file with a specific size.

I needed to generate a CSV file with a specific size to test a data ingestion process. I found some scripts on the internet but they were not working as expected. So I decided to create my own script.

Run the script

python csv_generator.py

• This example will generate a CSV file with 1GB of size and 200 columns.

  CsvGenerator("1GB.csv", 1*CsvGenerator.Sizes.GB, n_columns=200).generate()

• This example will generate a CSV file with 1MB of size and 200 columns.

  CsvGenerator("1MB.csv", 1*CsvGenerator.Sizes.MB, n_columns=200).generate()

• This example will generate a CSV file with 2GB reusing the 1GB file.

  CsvGenerator("2GB.csv", 2*CsvGenerator.Sizes.GB, reuse_file="1GB.csv").generate()
