Purpose

This script is a simple Python 3 script that parses a tab-separated values file, puts the column data in a Jinja 2 template, saves each row as a temporary file, and concatenates all the temporary files into a single document.

Script Flow

Here is a flowchart of the script flow using Mermaid code:

graph TD;
      A[Parse tsv file]-->B[Render template for each row];
      B-->C[Save rendered template to tempfile];
      C-->D[Concatenate tempfiles];

Requirements

The following packages are required to use this script:

Jinja2

Changes to be made by the end user

Before running the script, the end user needs to make the following changes:

Change the filepath variable to the location of the tab-separated values file they want to parse.

Change the template_string variable to fit the desired output format. The Jinja 2 template syntax can be found in the Jinja 2 documentation. The template should include placeholders for the data from each column, represented as {{ column_name }}. In this script, the column names are column1, column2, and column3.
