This isn't elegant but a one line solution using pandas.

import pandas as pd
pd.read_csv('coors.csv', header=None, index_col=0, squeeze=True).to_dict()

If you want to specify dtype for your index (it can't be specified in read_csv if you use the index_col argument because of a bug):

import pandas as pd
pd.read_csv('coors.csv', header=None, dtype={0: str}).set_index(0).squeeze().to_dict()
