python csv reader，從第二行循環

Question

在python 2.7.3中，如何從第二行開始循環？ 例如

first_row = cvsreader.next();
for row in ???: #expect to begin the loop from second row
    blah...blah...

Answer 1

first_row = next(csvreader)  # Compatible with Python 3.x (also 2.7)
for row in csvreader:  # begins with second row
    # ...

測試它確實有效：

>>> import csv
>>> csvreader = csv.reader(['first,second', '2,a', '3,b'])
>>> header = next(csvreader)
>>> for line in csvreader:
    print line
['2', 'a']
['3', 'b']

Answer 2

next(reader, None) # Don't raise exception if no line exists

看起來最可讀的IMO

另一種選擇是

from itertools import islice
for row in islice(reader, 1, None)

但是你不應該使用標題？ 考慮一個csv.DictReader ，它默認將字段名設置為第一行。

Answer 3

假設第一行包含字段名稱：

import csv
for field in csv.DictReader(open("./lists/SP500.csv", 'rb')):
    symbol = (field['ticker']).rstrip()
