Best way to access the Nth line of csv file

Question

I have to access the Nth line in a CSV file.

Here\'s what I did:

import csv

the_file = open(\'path\', \'r\')
reader = csv.reader(the_file)

N = inpu         


        

Answer 1

You could minimize your for loop into a comprehension expression, e.g.

row = [row for i,row in enumerate(reader) if i == N][0]  

# or even nicer as seen in iCodez code with next and generator expression

row = next(row for i,row in enumerate(reader) if i == N)
