    Say I have a csv file:

    Code:
    [email protected],bbbbb
[email protected],ddddd
    How can I get only 'ddddd' for example?

    I'm new to the language and tried some stuff with the csv module, but I don't get it... :D

    I'm clueless when it come to Python, but I would expect to create an array/vector/list and every time you come across a comma put the next segment into a new element, then if all of the ones you want are the second in the line then use array/vector/list[1] to access it.

    The csv module isn't hard, what are you trying to do?
