Pythonic use of CSV module to skip headers?
Hi -- I'm using the csv module to parse a tab-delimited file and wondered whether there was a more elegant way to skip an possible header line. I'm doing line = 0 reader = csv.reader(file(filename)) for row in reader: if (ignoreFirstLine & line == 0): continue line = line+1 # do something with row The only thing I could think of was to specialize the default reader class with an extra skipHeaderLine constructor parameter so that its next() method can skip the first line appropriate. Is there any other cleaner way to do it w/out subclassing the stdlib? Thanks! Ramon -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
