This may help you:

 import sys
 import csv
 if len(sys.argv) < 3:
    print "Usage: csvToTable.py csv_file html_file"
    exit(1)

 # Open the CSV file for reading

    reader = csv.reader(open(sys.argv[1]))

 # Create the HTML file for output

    htmlfile = open(sys.argv[2],"w")

 # initialize rownum variable
    rownum = 0

 # write  tag

   htmlfile.write('')

 # generate table contents

for row in reader: # Read a single row from the CSV file

 # write header row. assumes first row in csv contains header
   if rownum == 0:
      htmlfile.write('') # write  tag
      for column in row:
          htmlfile.write('')
      htmlfile.write('')

  #write all other rows 
   else:
      htmlfile.write('')    
      for column in row:
          htmlfile.write('')
      htmlfile.write('')

   #increment row count 
   rownum += 1

 tag
   htmlfile.write('')

 # print results to shell
