How to access specific columns from a csv file

Question

I have a csv file. I want to access only specific columns from it. Can it be done using csv module? Is there any other way to do it?

Answer 1

Instead of using csv module in Python, I would suggest using the Pandas library. Refer the following code 

import pandas as pd
df1 = pd.read_csv(csv file) # read csv file and store it in a dataframe

Suppose if you want to extract columns A,B and C from your csv file then use the code in the following line

my_columns = df1[["A","B","C" ]]

print(my_columns) #this will print columns A,B,C
