To say I'm a python newbie would be an understatement but I think it is a
language worth learning and would make a great replacement for perl in our
shop.
I'm trying to read a CSV file using the python csv module but I can't seem
to determine how to use the API, it seems to me that I can do nothing more
than opening the file and printing the lines of the file. I can do that
without the CSV module. I need to know how to address individual fields.
Something like this: (not actual python code)
import csv
reader = csv.reader(file("some.csv"))
for row in reader:
print row.field(3) or import csv
reader = csv.reader(file("some.csv"))
if reader.field(2,1) == "test.zip": print "test.zip exists"
Thanks,-Mark
