title: Taking items from a CSV file and putting the elements in a list
body: <p>I have a CSV File here: <a href="http://www.filedropper.com/excel" rel="nofollow">http://www.filedropper.com/excel</a> which looks like this <a href="http://pastebin.com/ammzv4FK" rel="nofollow">http://pastebin.com/ammzv4FK</a>. </p>
  
  <p>What I want to do is this:</p>
  
  <p>Take each year with its corresponding rows and find the numbers in months and total them and assign them to variables.</p>
  
  <p>So the first year, 2000, the list would look like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>year2000 = ['14744', '2947', '14905', '1748',  '2859',  '11778', '1453',  '5255', '14806', '1858', '10763', '6000']
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Then once I have that list I can convert the elements in the list from strings to integers, and sum them using the sum() command.</p>
  
  <p>I can print the rows out but I'm having trouble excluding the year number and then storing the rest into variables because my list comes out as this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>['2000, 14744, 2947, 14905, 1748,  2859,  11778, 1453,  5255, 14806, 1858, 10763, 6000']
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>as one big string, instead of individual elements, and my list prints all the years out at once so I can't seem to figure out how to store them into variables and total them separately.</p>
  
  <p>Here is my code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>with open("file.csv","r") as f:
      for i in range(1): 
          next(f)
      for x in f:
          x=x.split()
          print (x)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But when <code>print(x)</code> runs it prints it all, how can I store each year with its contents in a variable while excluding the actual year number?</p>
  
  <p>I'm using Python 3, thanks.</p>
