Thanks for the suggestions. Felt the thread could be of help on
consolidating the solution.
*Max Value from a csv column:*
import numpy
data1 = numpy.genfromtxt("data.csv",dtype='float',delimiter =
',',skiprows=1, skip_header=0, skip_footer=0,
usecols=11,usemask=True)
#print data1
print data1.max()
Plz go through the below link to understand further on the arguments taken
by numpy.genfromtxt():
