You exhausted that iterator. Instead, if you put them all in the
list, just take len(rows)
Alternatively, if you want to have keyed O(1) access instead of O(N)
access to items in your CSV file, load them into a dictionary,
choosing the field you want to use for lookup:
with open('x.csv', 'rb') as f:
rdr = csv.DictReader(f) # delimiter defaults to ","
d = dict(
(row["userid"], row)
for row in rdr
)
print("Loaded %i row(s)" % len(d))
print("def@ghi: %r" % (d["def@ghi"]))
