Convert complex txt to csv with python

I want to convert text to csv. Input file contains 10000K lines. Sample of input file is as below:-

Item=a
Price=10
colour=pink


Item=b
Price=20
colour=blue Pattern=checks

My output should look like this

Item Price Colour Pattern

a    10    pink
b    20    blue   checks

I am getting output if there is only single '=' in 1 line, if there are more than 1 like 2/3 '=' then I am not sure how to apply for loop. Can someone check my for loop part? Am I going wrong somewhere?

import csv
import glob

def dat_to_csv(filename, table_name):
    with open(filename, 'r') as reader:
        list_of_columns = []

        master_table = []
        counter = 0
        for line in reader:
            #stripped_line = line.strip()
            if line == "\n":
                #copy all elements which have values else paste a null
                if (table_values):
                    #master_table.append(table_values)
                    master_table.append([])
                    master_table[counter] = table_values.copy()
                    counter=counter+1

            writer.writerow(list_of_columns)

            #t_table_values = zip(*table_values)
            
            max_elements = len((master_table))
            
            master_table_transp = []
            for cntr in range(max_elements):
                master_table_transp.append([])

                    if (cntr_row<len(master_table[cntr_obj])):
                        master_table_transp[cntr_row].append(master_table[cntr_obj][cntr_row])
                    else:
                        master_table_transp[cntr_row].append([])




            t_table_values = zip(*master_table_transp)

            for values in t_table_values:
                writer.writerow(values)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    path = "folderpath"

    for filename in glob.glob((os.path.join(path, '*.txt'))):
        name_only = os.path.basename(filename).replace(".txt", "")
        dat_to_csv(filename, name_only)

Output which I am getting is as below: enter image description here

Confusion between commands.Bot and discord.Client | Which one should I use?

Whenever you look at YouTube tutorials or code from this website there is a real variation. Some developers use client = discord.Client(intents=intents) while the others use bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="something", intents=intents) . Now I know slightly about the difference but I get errors from different places from my code when I use either of them and its confusing. Especially since there has a few changes over the years in discord.py it is hard to find the real difference. I tried sticking to discord.Client then I found that there are more features in commands.Bot . Then I found errors when using commands.Bot . An example of this is: When I try to use commands.Bot client = commands.Bot(command_prefix=">",intents=intents) async def load(): for filename in os.listdir("./Cogs"): if filename.endswith(".py"): client.load_extension(f"Cogs.{filename[:-3]}") The above doesnt giveany response from my Cogs ...
