Say you AA.csv opened as f:

    >>> import csv
    >>> reader = csv.DictReader(f, skipinitialspace=1)

    >>> next(reader)
    {'Date': '22-Nov-2012', 'Series': 'EQ', 'Symbol': 'STER', 'Prev_Close': '9'}
    >>> next(reader)
    {'Date': '29-Nov-2012', 'Series': 'EQ', 'Symbol': 'STER',
'Prev_Close': '10'}

and so on.
