You can specify the column you want to use

df=read_csv(yourcsv.csv)
dates = df['DATE'].values.tolist()
print(dates[0])

Bunch of ways to do this, just depends on your requirements. Iloc function might be of use to you too.

Glad to help! Good luck on your project

Is it possible to specify which line you want to read? eg I want to read 3 line from behind (index = -3)
