title: Reading CSV - Beginner
body: <p>I have been trying to read a csv file from my desktop and have not been successful.  I checked my current working directory and it is pointed to my desktop, so that doesn't seem to be the issue.  Below is the module I used and the error output that I received.  I am using Python 3.2.3</p>
  
  <pre><code>import csv  
  reader = csv.reader(open(name.csv, mode = 'r'))  
  for row in reader:  
      print (row)  
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Here is my result</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Traceback (most recent call last):<br>
        File "C:/Users/User Name/Desktop/FileName.py", line 2,in <br>
        reader = csv.reader(open(name.csv, mode = 'r'))<br>
    NameError: name 'Beta' is not defined  </p>

  <p>Help?  Thanks!</p>
