Answer 1

If your csv files start with a blank line, I think you should be able to skip that line with readline() before creating the csv reader:

with open("ted.csv") as f1, open("ted2.csv") as f2, open('foo.csv', 'w') as out:
    f1.readline()
    f2.readline()
    r1, r2 = csv.reader(f1), csv.reader(f2)
