Read in the first column of a CSV in python

Question

I have a CSV (mylist.csv) with 2 columns that look similar to this:

jfj840398jgg     item-2f
hd883hb2kjsd     item-9k
jie9hgtrbu43     item-12
f         


        

Answer 1

The simplest answer

        import pandas as pd
        df = pd.read_csv(mylist.csv)
        matrix2 = df[df.columns[0]].to_numpy()
        list1 = matrix2.tolist()
        print(list1)
