Hi Rusi,

I'm struck and i did say what did not work and i did follow your guideline and i 
did come out with my own code which come out as a same result ( look at the #) not is not the one i need.

f = open('friends.csv', 'rU')
for row in f:
    #print zip([row.rstrip() for (row) in f])
    print zip(row.rstrip('\n') for (row) in f)
