closing file opened by csv reader

[Paul Phillabaum]

I'd like to close the file the "reader" opens, but I can't figure out how to
reference it.

example:
reader2=csv.rea der(file('blah. csv'))

if reader2 was a normal file, I would do "reader2.close( )" but that doesn't
work.

I won't show any of the more wacky attempts I made based on my limited
experience as they'd just reveal my total ignorance of this part of python.
I did look through the dictionary for the reader object but couldn't find
what I needed.

Thanks!

Paul

Re: closing file opened by csv reader


How about


f = open('bla')
csv_reader = reader(f)
for row in csv_reader:
process(row)
f.close()

?
