I am now trying to access the csv file using dictreader.

Create an object which operates like a regular reader but maps the
information read into a dict whose keys are given by the optional fieldnames
parameter. If the fieldnames parameter is omitted, the values in the first row
of the csvfile will be used as the fieldnames. If the row read has fewer fields
than the fieldnames sequence, the value of restval will be used as the default
value. If the row read has more fields than the fieldnames sequence, the
remaining data is added as a sequence keyed by the value of restkey. If the
row read has fewer fields than the fieldnames sequence, the remaining keys take
the value of the optional restval parameter. Any other optional or keyword
arguments are passed to the underlying reader instance.

use the fieldname parameter which will give you a dictionary with all values.
If you put this in a database, then sql power is available for all sorts of
queries.
