I have a spreadsheet with about 3k rows I am trying to select data from (row specific) to enter in data for a form.

You can easily create your own library in python for reading and writing csv files. Here is a quick example which works with every text style file.

class costomLibrary(object):
    def read_specific_line(self, filename, row):
        '''
        This creates a keyword named "Read Specific Line"
        This keyword takes the filename of the file to read and the row 
        wich is to be read.
        '''
        fp = open(filename)
        for i, line in enumerate(fp):
            if i == row:
                return line
