Hi --
I'm using the csv module to parse a tab-delimited file and wondered
whether there was a more elegant way to skip an possible header line.
I'm doing
line = 0
reader = csv.reader(file(filename))
for row in reader:
if (ignoreFirstLine & line == 0):
continue
line = line+1
# do something with row
The only thing I could think of was to specialize the default reader
class with an extra skipHeaderLine constructor parameter so that its
next() method can skip the first line appropriate. Is there any other
cleaner way to do it w/out subclassing the stdlib?
Thanks!
Ramon
