1The code looks fine to me. Without the error, or the contents of 'some.csv' it is difficult to help.juanchopanza– juanchopanza2011-04-26 09:43:22 +00:00Commented Apr 26, 2011 at 9:43

Which version of Python are you using?
The with statement is new in 2.6 - if you're using 2.5 you need from __future__ import with_statement. If you use a Python older than 2.5 then there's no with statement, so just write:
import csv
f = open('some.csv', 'rb')
reader = csv.reader(f)
for row in reader:
print row
f.close()
It's really better to update to a modern version of Python, though. Python 2.5 was released almost 5 years ago, and the current version in the 2.x line is 2.7

@atul: Please do not bury important information in a comment. Please update the question to contain all the facts.
from __future__ import with_statement
And if that doesn't work, rewrite it to not use with in the first place.
