Use for loop to loop through the lines of data and print them to your console.

Answer 1

import csv

with open('example.csv', 'r') as f:

reader = csv.reader(f)

# skip header row

next(reader)

for row in reader:

print(row)

Please follow these steps, to get printing the row to the console. Each row is returned as a list of strings.



Answer 2

The Python documentation for the csv module has sample code that you can try. When I googled python 3 csv the first result was the Python documentation page.

Here is a summary of the steps:

1. Use the open function to open the file that has the CSV data in it.
2. Pass the file handle (returned when opening the file) to csv.reader or csv.DictReader and keep the returned reader object in a variable.
3. Use a for loop to iterate through each row in the reader object and print the row as desired.
