Python 3.7 Start reading from a specific point within a csv - python-3.x

Question

Hey I could really use help here. I've tried for 1 hour to find a solution for python but was unable to find it.
I am using Python 3.7
My input is a file provided by a customer - I cannot change it. It is structured in the following way:
It starts with random text not in CSV format and from line 3 on the rest of the file is in csv format.
text line
text line
text line or nothing
Enter
[Start of csv file] "column Namee 1","column Namee 2" .. until 6
"value1","value2" ... until 6 - continuing for many lines.
I wanted to extract the first 3 lines to create a pure CSV file but was unable to find code to only do it for a specific line range. It also seems the wrong solution as I think starting to read from a certain point should be possible.
Then I thought split () is the solution but it did not work for this format. The values are sometimes numbers, dates or strings. You cannot use the seek() method as they start differently.
Right now my dictreader takes the first line as an index and consequently the rest is rendered in chaos.
import csv
import pandas as pd
from prettytable import PrettyTable
with open(r'C:\Users\Hans\Downloads\file.csv') as csvfile:
csv_reader = csv.DictReader (r'C:\Users\Hans\Downloads\file.csv', delimiter=',')
for lines in csvfile:
print (lines)
If some answer for python has been found please link it, I was not able to find it.
Thank you so much for your help. I really appreciate it.

Answer 1

I will insist with the pandas option, given that the documentation clearly states that the skiprows parameter allows to skip n number of lines. I tried it with the example provided by #Chris Doyle (saving it to a file named line_file.csv) and it works as expected.
import pandas as pd
f = pd.read_csv('line_file.csv', skiprows=3)
Output
name num symbol
0 chris 4 $
1 adam 7 &
2 david 5 %

Answer 2

If you know the number of lines you want to skip then just open the file and read that many lines then pass the filehandle to Dictreader and it will read the remaining lines.
import csv
skip_n_lines = 3
with open('test.dat') as my_file:
for _ in range(skip_n_lines):
print("skiping line:", my_file.readline(), end='')
print("###CSV DATA###")
csv_reader = csv.DictReader(my_file)
for row in csv_reader:
print(row)
FILE
this is junk
this is more junk
last junk
name,num,symbol
chris,4,$
adam,7,&
david,5,%
OUTPUT
skiping line: this is junk
skiping line: this is more junk
skiping line: last junk
###CSV DATA###
OrderedDict([('name', 'chris'), ('num', '4'), ('symbol', '$')])
OrderedDict([('name', 'adam'), ('num', '7'), ('symbol', '&')])
OrderedDict([('name', 'david'), ('num', '5'), ('symbol', '%')])
