Creating a dictionary from a csv file?

Question

I am trying to create a dictionary from a csv file. The first column of the csv file contains unique keys and the second column contains values. Each row of the csv file rep

Answer 1

Open the file by calling open and then csv.DictReader.

input_file = csv.DictReader(open("coors.csv"))

You may iterate over the rows of the csv file dict reader object by iterating over input_file.

for row in input_file:
    print(row)

OR To access first line only

dictobj = csv.DictReader(open('coors.csv')).next() 

UPDATE In python 3+ versions, this code would change a little:

reader = csv.DictReader(open('coors.csv'))
dictobj = next(reader)
