3,HNK,2016,

Answer 1

You could load your csv file into a pandas DataFrame and read the last row from it:

import pandas as pd

df = pd.read_csv('path_to_file.csv')
last_number = df['Number'].values[-1]

Answer 2

if you want to use python only :

with open('csv_file.csv','r') as f:
    opened_file = f.readlines()
    var = opened_file[-1].split(',')[0]

Answer 3

Try this :

import pandas as pd
print(pd.read_csv("test1.csv").iloc[-1]["Number"])    # Prints 3
