how to use csv module to read csv file code example

Example 1: python csv reader

with open(r'c:\dl\FrameRecentSessions.csv') as csv_file:
    csv_reader = csv.reader(csv_file, delimiter=',')
    line_count = 0
    for row in csv_reader:
        if line_count == 0:
            print(f'Column names are {", ".join(row)}')
            line_count += 1
        else:
            print(f'\t{row[0]} works in the {row[1]} department, and was born in {row[2]}.')
            line_count += 1
    print(f'Processed {line_count} lines.')

Example 2: accessing element from csv file in python

import itertools
# ...
with open(filename, 'rb') as f:
     row = next(itertools.islice(csv.reader(f), row_number, row_number+1))
     print row[column_number]
