python - Reading row data from CSV file -

i'm trying create program reads csv file, more row data (data in lines across)

sampledata.csv:

['time', 'date', 'color  ', 'name'] ['1pm', '01-01-99', 'blue', 'jack'] ['2pm', '02-02-99', 'green', 'kevin'] ['3pm', '03-03-99', 'yellow', 'phil'] ['4pm', '04-04-99', 'white', 'alice'] ['5pm', '05-05-99', 'black', 'bob'] 

here code:

import csv   open('sampledata.csv', 'r') csvfile :       regnumber = input("what regnumber?")       reader = csv.reader(csvfile, delimiter=',') row in reader:      print(row) # here lies problem(python reading columnal data (data going down) instead of row(lines across) data# 

the problem in reading columns (data going down). python reads columns instead.

output:

date 01-01-99 02-02-99 03-03-99 04-04-99 05-05-99 

is 1 you're looking for?

import csv  #ignore stupidity indentation , spaces# open('sampledata.csv', 'r') csvfile :     regnumber = raw_input("enter time:")     reader = csv.reader(csvfile)     row in reader:         if(row[0]==regnumber):             print ', '.join(row)         else:             continue 

the above code print values csv file row row.
