I'm fairly happy with the state of the csv parser and the PEP.

I'm working on csvutils.py right now.  The guessDelimiter() function
from DSV isn't really the best for our purposes as it expects a fairly
fixed number of columns and we're allowing for variable columns per row.
Also, allowing spaces around delimiters is going to throw
guessQuoteChar().  I've got some ideas for fixing guessQuoteChar() but
guessDelimiter is going to need an entirely new approach (which I think
I have an idea for =)

Sorry for being a slug.
