I know nothing about numpy.

How about something like:
     import csv
     myreader = csv.reader(....)
     mylist = list(myreader)


Presumably you can fill in the details.  Anyway, I think this will give 
you a list of lists, and perhaps you can convert that to a numpy array, 
if you really need one of those.
