How to ignore the first line of data when processing CSV data?

Question

I am asking Python to print the minimum number from a column of CSV data, but the top row is the column number, and I don\'t want Python to take the top row into account. Ho

Answer 1

Well, my mini wrapper library would do the job as well.

>>> import pyexcel as pe
>>> data = pe.load('all16.csv', name_columns_by_row=0)
>>> min(data.column[1])

Meanwhile, if you know what header column index one is, for example "Column 1", you can do this instead:

>>> min(data.column["Column 1"])
