title: Read in multiple columns with csv readin
body: <p>Maybe I am just being picky but as a Matlab user trying to convert I am really having trouble with importing data.  I can't seem to read in more than two columns of data with a CSV read in.  Here is the coding I am using</p>
  
  <pre><code>x,y = [],[]
  csv_reader = csv.reader(open('Data.csv'))
  for line in csv_reader:
      x.append(line[0])
      y.append(line[1])
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>If I use Data.csv with more than 2 columns, I can't seem to return anything from the 3rd column and up so I have to read in several csv files to get the data I want.  </p>
  
  <p>I also would like to bring up the point that I am only using CSV format because I can't figure out how to import anything else.  Again, as a previous Matlab user, I prefer to copy a spreadsheet into a .txt file and import that.  Any direction on that would also be greatly appreciated.  Thanks so much</p>
