I want to count the total number of columns in a CSV file. Currently i am using python 2.7 and 3.4. Code works perfectly in these versions and when i try to implement the same thing in python 2.4, it is showing as next() is not defined.
Code i am using currently(2.7 and 3.4)
f = open(sys.argv[1],'r')
reader = csv.reader(f,delimiter=d)
num_cols = len(next(reader)) # Read first line and count columns
My strong need is to implement the same in Python 2.4 . Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I do not have Python 2.4 installed at the moment, so I can not really test this.
According to the documentation, the next builtin is new in Python 2.6. However, the csv.reader has a next method of it's own, and that one seems to have existed even in 2.4, so you should be able to use this.
num_cols = len(reader.next())
