I have a CSV file which I am reading in python. The code is something along these lines:
with open("total.csv", 'rb') as input1:
reader = csv.reader(input1, delimiter=",")
for row in reader:
# Read the CSV row by row.
Actually this file contains numerous URLs that I wish to check for updates and I want my program to start from the beginning of the file once I complete the list. If I want to stop it I will manually kill the process. However, I don't know what should I do after reading the last row so that the program should start from the beginning of the file. I want to keep on reading the file in a loop so that the file is read unless I manually terminate the process running my script. Can anyone tell how do I do that? Thanks

File objects have a seek() method; use that to seek to 0. But make sure to time.sleep() for a short file before reading thd file or your program will saturate a CPU core and disk IO.
Or better yet, just re-enter the with block to open the file afresh.
