Folks, In advance of asking Guido to review and pronounce on PEP 305 and its related code, I'd like to ask you to take a few minutes to review what we've produced. There is the PEP, of course: http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0305.html but there is also source code, a large number of test cases and a libref section available in the CVS sandbox. Cliff Wells is working on a csvutils module which will contain adaptations of the "sniffing" routines from his DSV package. Just do a "csv up -dP ." in your nondist/sandbox directory to get the latest version of everything. Feel free to review and/or comment on any or all of it, but please please post your comments to the csv@mail.mojam.com mailing list. You can review our rather active correspondence at http://manatee.mojam.com/pipermail/csv/ or if you're really excited about CSV files, you can subscribe at http://manatee.mojam.com/mailman/listinfo/csv Thx, Skip
