Python import csv to list

Question

I have a CSV file with about 2000 records.

Each record has a string, and a category to it:

This is the firs         


        

Answer 1

Update for Python3:

import csv
from pprint import pprint

with open('text.csv', newline='') as file:
    reader = csv.reader(file)
    res = list(map(tuple, reader))

pprint(res)

Output:

[('This is the first line', ' Line1'),
 ('This is the second line', ' Line2'),
 ('This is the third line', ' Line3')]

If csvfile is a file object, it should be opened with newline=''.
