Erh, did that mean "no"? Ah, those young Americans!
"Bully for you, chilly for me".

A generator will have to do, then:

import csv

def sniffer_reader( fname ):
    infile = file( fname )
    sample = infile.read( 8192 )
    dialect = csv.Sniffer().sniff( sample )
    infile.seek( 0 )
    for row in csv.reader( infile, dialect ):
        yield row

for fields in sniffer_reader( 'data.csv' ):
    # do something with fields
