How to merge TSV files in python

Here are three effective ways to merge multiple TSV files in Python using different libraries. Each approach has its own advantages depending on your specific needs and file sizes.

Merging TSV files with pandas

Pandas provides a straightforward approach for merging files and works well for most common data tasks:

First, let's install pandas if you haven't already:

bash
pip install pandas

Now we can load your TSV files into dataframes:

python
import pandas as pd

Let's load your first file:

python
df1 = pd.read_csv('path/to/file1.tsv', sep='\t')

And your second file:

python
df2 = pd.read_csv('path/to/file2.tsv', sep='\t')

Great! Now we can merge the dataframes using the concat function:

python
merged_df = pd.concat([df1, df2], ignore_index=True)

Finally, let's save your newly merged data to a file:

python
merged_df.to_csv('path/to/merged_file.tsv', sep='\t', index=False)
