Like Gabriel suggested, using itertools.tee should do the trick.

-----------------------------------------------------

import csv
from itertools import tee

def pass1( reader ):
	print reader.next()
	print reader.next()

def pass2( reader ):
	print reader.next()
	print reader.next()

reader1,reader2 = tee( csv.reader( open( "C:/IT/Method/SpaceImpact/code/tools/
ProfileViewer/performance_profile.csv", "rb" ) ) )

pass1( reader1 )
pass2( reader2 )
-----------------------------------------------------
