how to convert csv into dict format [duplicate]

Question

I have a.csv file as below:

 OLD,NEW
 AA,XX
 BB,YY
 CC,ZZ

I wanna convert it to dict format, say dict1 = {'AA':'XX','BB':'YY','CC':'ZZ'} Should I use DictReader or join string?

Answer 1

with open('file.csv') as f:
    f.readline() # ignore first line (header)
    mydict = dict(csv.reader(f, delimiter=','))

print mydict
