Convert .csv table to dictionary [duplicate]

Answer 1

Using the csv module, I would do it this way:

with open('somefile.csv', 'rb') as input_file:
    reader = csv.DictReader(input_file)
    results = {}
    for linedict in reader:
        for (key, value) in linedict.iteritems():
            results.setdefault(key, []).append(value)
