Filter CSV Rows by Column Value in Python

import pandas as pd

def filter_csv_by_column_value(file_path, column_name, filter_value):
    # Read the CSV file into a DataFrame
    df = pd.read_csv(file_path)
    
    # Filter the DataFrame based on the specified column value
    filtered_df = df[df[column_name] == filter_value]
    
    return filtered_df

# Example usage:
if __name__ == '__main__':
    file_path = 'data.csv'  # Path to your CSV file
    column_name = 'status'   # Column to filter by
    filter_value = 'active'   # Value to filter for
    result = filter_csv_by_column_value(file_path, column_name, filter_value)
    print(result)
