A simple but effective CSV (Comma Separated Value) library for reading, manipulating and outputting CSV files is now available from: http://eh.org/~laurie/comp/python/csv/ It's at version 0.14 (25 April 1999) and is distributed under a Python-esque license. The package includes a simple to follow, fully commented test program which users have found to be a useful and suitable introduction to using the library. CSV files are essentially the lowest common denominator for databases, and are understood by virtually every database program currently available. There is currently no support for related file types (ie TSV), but these would be trivial to add in. CSV.py makes creating and manipulating CSV files easy by using a simple list / dictionary approach that will be pleasantly familiar to Python users.
