Thanks for the solution above,

The raw data looked like
User-ID,COUNTS
576460840144207854,6
576460821700280307,2
576460783848259584,1
576460809027715074,3
576460825909089607,1
576460817407934470,1

and i used

CSV_INPUT1 = "C:/Example work/Attr_model/Activity_test.csv"
fin1 = open(CSV_INPUT1, "rb")
reader1 = csv.DictReader((fin1), [], delimiter=",")

This should have been:
  reader1 = csv.DictReader(fin1, delimiter=",")

or even just csv.DictReader(fin1), since IIRC ',' is the default delimiter (I'll let you check this by yourself...).

with which you would have:
[
  {'User-ID':'576460840144207854', 'count':'6'},
  {'User-ID':'576460821700280307', 'count':'2'},
  # etc...
]
with the following outcome.
{None: ['User-ID', 'COUNTS']}
{None: ['576460840144207854', '6']}
{None: ['576460821700280307', '2']}
{None: ['576460783848259584', '1']}
{None: ['576460809027715074', '3']}
{None: ['576460825909089607', '1']}

And you didn't noticed anything strange ???

So i can see csv.reader is what i should have been using

With only 2 values, DictReader is probably a bit overkill, yes.

Thanks for the help

You're welcome. But do yourself a favour: take time to *learn* Python - at least the very basic (no pun) stuff like iterating over a sequence.
