            current_limit = row_limit * current_piece
            current_out_path = os.path.join(
                output_path,
                output_name_template % current_piece

            if keep_headers:
                current_out_writer.writerow(headers)
        current_out_writer.writerow(row)

#Set number of rows in the function and then use it like:

split(open('/your/pat/input.csv', 'r'));
