reading a CSV files columns directly into variables names with python

Question

I want to read a CSV file\'s columns directly into variables. The result should be something like you would get with the following shell line: while IFS=, read ColumnName1

Answer 1

Thank you all for working with my question. Here is what I ended up doing. Simple, but it worked. Again, problem was to read a headless CSV into variables so that I could "do stuff"

import sys

for record in sys.stdin.readlines():
    record = record.rstrip()
    ColumnName1, ColumnName2, ColumnName2 = record.split(',')

This does the same thing as the shell code I posted in the question: while IFS=, read ColumnName1 ColumnName2 ColumnName3 do stuff

Thanks for all the help. I will be asking more questions soon!!
