Fix Python – Getting user input [duplicate]

Question

I am running this:

import csv
import sys
reader = csv.reader(open(sys.argv[0], "rb"))
for row in reader:
    print row

And I get this in response:

['import csv']
['import sys']
['reader = csv.reader(open(sys.argv[0]', ' "rb"))']
['for row in reader:']
['    print row']
>>>

For the sys.argv[0] I would like it to prompt me to enter a filename.

How do I get it to prompt me to enter a filename?

Now we will see solution for issue: Getting user input [duplicate]

In python 3.x, use input() instead of raw_input()
