Python reading from CSV File + Empty Lines -

below code! however, when run name not found? (it in csv file howevever)

import csv name = "andy" score = "53" x = 0 array = []  f = open('class a.csv', 'r') csv_file = csv.reader(f) row in csv_file:     if row[0] == [name]:         print("found name")         row[1].append(score)         f.close()         break     else:         print("not found")         f = open('class a.csv', 'a')         = csv.writer(f)         array.append(name)         array.append(score)         print(array)         a.writerow(array)         f.close()         break 

this csv file:

steve,3 max,2 dave,5 andy,3 

my second issue above code if wrote 2 different names there blank line between them.

the program printed not found because if first comparing didn't matched printed not found, need iterate names , if there no match then, insert new row. intention ?

import csv name = "andy" score = "53" x = 0 array = []  f = open('class a.csv', 'r') csv_file = csv.reader(f) is_found = false row in csv_file:     if row[0] == name:         print("found name")         is_found = true         row.append(score)         f.close()         break if not is_found:         print("not found")         f = open('class a.csv', 'a')         = csv.writer(f)         array.append(name)         array.append(score)         print(array)         a.writerow(array)         f.close()
