It's best if you look up how to do this in the docs yourself. An even better way would be to think about the steps necessary to do this and then writing them down in pseudo-code. After that you can look up the functions/tools that will help you accomplish this task. One of the most important skills a programmer can have is called 'algorithmic thinking'. That is, essentially, the ability to break a problem down into smaller pieces in order to eventually solve it. So, think about this: What steps do you need to take to turn this csv file into a Python dictionary object? Imagine that you were going to do this by hand. How would you do it? -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
