If you know what a CommaSeparatedValues file looks like, then reading ONE
LINE gives you enough info to answer the question about how many columns of
data it describes.

You will find a bunch of stuff on creating functions in the Functions and
Modules topic of my tutorial.(see below)

You will find a bunch of stuff on handling files in the Handling Files topic
of my tutorial.(see below)

You will find a lot of help on using CSV files in the csv module
documentation in the standard library. (Or you could buy my book "Python
Projects" which has a section on the topic.)
