I agree with Luke's comments. But I'd like to point out an apparent bug (I
haven't tried the code, this is just by inspection).
You use the test
if '0' in row[.....]
that's not going to check for a zero value, it's going to check for a zero
digit character somewhere in the value. So 504 would also be recognized, as
well as 540.
I thought this sounded rather fishy, along the following lines:
row is a list, so slicing it returns a list, so 'in' should compare
the list elements (i.e. the strings contained therein) with '0'; this
seems perfectly normal.
I have checked, and thankfully the world is not upside down. It would
only work the way you describe if row was a string, or if 'in' called
itself recursively when it found a list.
HTH,

You are quite right, of course. I somehow missed that it was a slice,
and took it instead to be a simple subscript.
But if the file contained 0.00 as one of its items, this code would
still have the other problem I mentioned.
