[Tutor] how to read from a csv file?

[pierre cutellic]

Hi, this is a module i wrote to catch some data from a csv file:

##########
#module csv data reader
# open a csv file and return its data

import csv
import sys

def __init__(self):

    rawdata = []
    f = open('datalisting_000.csv','r')

    try:

        reader = csv.reader(f)

        for row in reader:

            rawdata.append(row)

    finally:

        f.close()


def rawdata():

    return rawdata

if __name__ == "__main__":
    print "This is a module. You can't run it directly. Try to import it."
    raw_input("\n\nPress any key to exit.")
#########

But when i try to use like:

##########
import csvdatareader
print csvdatareader.rawdata()
##########

It didn't print anything. Where is the mistake?

Cheers.
