Python 2.7, Excel.csv getting specific columns &…?

Question

Sorry , guys If there is a post similar or exactly like this. I'm new to programming/coding and just couldn't find a similar post. What I'm trying to do is a script that takes a keyword/input from the user and from that keyword the program will find all columns in the excel.csv data. Then make a copy of the column/s to a new excel file . This is with the intention of working with large excel files. Is there any tutorials or a place where I can find even tips/hints/Examples of how to do this? Thanks for your time and comprehension.

Again is just:

1. Name of the file to be read.
2. keyword which identify columns to be saved/copy/cut.

3. Create new file then paste + truncate?

   ( Anything close to this or a tutorials/examples would be truly appreciated. )

Sincerely, A novice.

Here you go..

>>> import csv
>>> with open('eggs.csv', 'rb') as csvfile:
...     spamreader = csv.reader(csvfile, delimiter=' ', quotechar='|')
...     for row in spamreader:
...         print ', '.join(row)
Spam, Spam, Spam, Spam, Spam, Baked Beans
Spam, Lovely Spam, Wonderful Spam

Hope this will give you some idea...
