body: <p>I have a CSV with following values</p>
  
  <pre><code>ID, Value
  1, a
  2, b

  </code></pre>
  
  <p>How can I convert this csv to following string using Python</p>
  
  <pre><code>[('ID', 'Value'), (1, 'a'), (2, 'b'), (3, 'c')]
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I was trying with the following code</p>
  
  <pre><code>with open('sample.csv', 'rb') as csvfile: 
      reader = csv.reader(csvfile, delimiter=' ', quotechar='|')
      for row in reader:
          data = ', '.join(row)
          rows.append(data)
  print rows
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Am getting following output only</p>
  
  <pre><code>["'ID','Value'", "1,'a'", "2,'b'", "3,'c'"]
  </code></pre>
