Python: How can I access CSV like a matrix?
Question: I don't want to manually do the part of parsing the CSV and I will need to
access the cell in this fashion:

    
    
    Cells (row, column) = X
    

or

    
    
    X = Cells (row, column)
    

Does anyone know how to do that ?


Answer: numpy is nice but is a bit overkill for such a simple requirement.

Try:

    
    
    import csv
    sheet = list(csv.reader(open(source_csv_location)))
    print sheet[0][0]
