  • Thank you! Does it count as data wrangling to make a second data frame where type is THING-TYPE-1 and THING-TYPE-2 and I look up names in it to return their IDs? Commented Sep 8, 2021 at 15:37
  • Sure it does! :-) All I meant was, using pandas just to write to CSV is overkill. But if you're doing other things with the data in pandas before/after writing to CSV, then it's fine; not overkill. Commented Sep 8, 2021 at 16:06
