Hi Dave thanks for the tips, I manage to code this: f = open('Book1.csv', 'rU') for row in f: print zip([row for (row) in f]) however my output is [('John Konon Ministry of Moon Walks 4567882 27-Feb\n',), ('Stacy Kisha Ministry of Man Power 1234567 17-Jan\n',)] is there any method to remove the \n ? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
