   Why do you think it has to be written in C? The format is quite simple
and speed is unlikely to be an issue. Requiring more extensions to be
bundled with PythonCard to make it work will make it more trouble to set up
correctly.

   Is CSV import / export something that needs to be solved now? Is it
required by something else?
