Hey guys,

I'm a little new to Python, and am still learning!

I'm test building a web scraper that extracts prices from a website, based on 
two values I want to extract from a CSV file. The CSV has at least 1000 rows, 
an example:

0,0,KGD,0,DME,0,,0,0

The values I want to extract are KGD and DME (columns 3 and 5).

Each row in the CSV file contains values in columns 3 and 5 that I'd like to 
extract. What's the best way to extract these data, so I can insert them as 
inputs in two different fields in a form? A list, dictionary, or MySQL? I try 
not to do anything with MySQL as I'm not familiar with it at all.

I'm thinking of dictionary because at least I can make it work as a key/value 
pair (for columns 3 and 5), but a dictionary is unordered. I'd like to 
automatically go through each row in the CSV file from beginning to end to 
extract the two values in columns 3 and 5 and insert them into fields in a form.

I'd really appreciate any suggestions or help, thanks in advance!
