Might I humbly suggest
sheet = list(spamReader) # ?
Oh, and while I'm humbly suggesting:
spam_reader instead of spamReader or SpamReader or SpamrEadeR or
suchlike. Caps are "reserved" for classes.
Not a necessity, of course. But it's the dialect around these parts.

INVALID? DE!
Thank you for your answers. Let me however make some comments:
1- the csv file was generated with Excel 2007; no prompts for what the
separator should be; Excel has used ";" by default, without asking
anything
I find this difficult to believe, but assuming that you are correct then
use the delimiter=';' argument in the call to csv.reader. See the csv
module documentation section "Dialects and Formatting Parameters" for
more information.
2- about capitalisation, I used the var "spamReader" because I just
copy/pasted from the official python site:
http://docs.python.org/library/csv.html
3- when I try
sheet = [row for row in spamReader]
print sheet
[]
all I get is an empty list; something seems not to be working properly
Same result list: I get an empty list
sheet = list(spamReader)
Thank you again for your help, which is highly appreciated.
