Count how many records are in a CSV Python?

Question

I\'m using python (Django Framework) to read a CSV file. I pull just 2 lines out of this CSV as you can see. What I have been trying to do is store in a variable the total n

Answer 1

Several of the above suggestions count the number of LINES in the csv file. But some CSV files will contain quoted strings which themselves contain newline characters. MS CSV files usually delimit records with \r\n, but use \n alone within quoted strings.

For a file like this, counting lines of text (as delimited by newline) in the file will give too large a result. So for an accurate count you need to use csv.reader to read the records.
