Please remember to tell us what error, with the traceback, so that we can  
make fun of you for not reading it :-)  In this case it's pretty obvious;  
Python will complain that you can't call len() on an integer (because it's  
not a container type, so the whole idea of "length" is meaningless).  You  
probably meant to use "range(10)" instead of "len(10)", but then "row"  
would be the integers from 0 to 9 inclusive, which isn't what you want  
either.

What you actually want to do is "row = p.next()" (in Python 2.x) or "row =  
next(p)" (in Python 3.x) to get the next row from the CSV file, add it to  
the array and repeat until you have ten more lines.  Another for-loop will  
make this less tedious to write.

Odd that this subject should have come up so many times in various guises  
in the last week or two.
