Simple method to parse CSV into list of dictionaries

with open('/home/mitul/Desktop/OPENEBS/test.csv', 'rb') as infile:
  header = infile.readline().split(",")
  for line in infile:
    fields = line.split(",")
    entry = {}
    for i,value in enumerate(fields):
      entry[header[i].strip()] = value.strip()
      data.append(entry)
