I was looking around for a comma separated values (CSV) module in the Python
Standard Libraries and didn't find one, so I went hunting on Google. I came
up with:
http://object-craft.com.au/projects/csv/
CSV is such a common import and export format that we should probably have
one as a standard part of the framework. It is a relatively straightforward
programming problem, but there are lots of exceptions and
application-specific ways of doing quoting, so it is best not to write our
own if we don't have to. We also need to have the framework handle export
from a list, which I'm not sure the package above does.
I don't want to require the user to download a separate package, so we need
to be able to include the package above or any other we find in our
distributions. Before I go ahead and contact Dave Cole, does anyone know of
alternative CSV code that we should consider using instead? No GPL code,
please.
