How to read one single line of csv data in Python?

Question

There is a lot of examples of reading csv data using python, like this one:

import csv with open('some.csv', newline='') as f:   reader = csv.reader(f)   for row in reader:     print(row) 

I only want to read one line of data and enter it into various variables. How do I do that? I've looked everywhere for a working example.

My code only retrieves the value for i, and none of the other values

reader = csv.reader(csvfile, delimiter=',', quotechar='"') for row in reader:   i = int(row[0])   a1 = int(row[1])   b1 = int(row[2])   c1 = int(row[2])   x1 = int(row[2])   y1 = int(row[2])   z1 = int(row[2]) 

Answer 1

To read only the first row of the csv file use next() on the reader object.

with open('some.csv', newline='') as f:   reader = csv.reader(f)   row1 = next(reader)  # gets the first line   # now do something here    # if first row is the header, then you can do one more next() to get the next row:   # row2 = next(f) 

or :

with open('some.csv', newline='') as f:   reader = csv.reader(f)   for row in reader:     # do something here with `row`     break
