Reading data to python: turn into list or dataframe

[Larz60+]

You can also use:

with open("C:\\temp\LongPctls.csv") as fp:
    crdr = csv.reader(fp) # can add optional [inline]delimiter='.'[/inline] if not comma (replace . with delimiter)
    for row in crdr:
        print(f"type row: {type(row)}, row: {row}"

Using this method , if there is a header, it will be the first row

Or, if you prefer a dictionary, use:

with open("C:\\temp\LongPctls.csv") as fp:
    crdr = csv.DictReader(fp) # can add optional [inline]delimiter='.'[/inline] if not comma (replace . with delimiter)
    for row in crdr:
        print(f"type row: {type(row)}, row: {row}"

Each row will be a dictionary.
