A new PEP (305), "CSV File API", is available for reader feedback. This PEP
describes an API and implementation for reading and writing CSV files.
There is a sample implementation available as well which you can take out
for a spin. The PEP is available at
http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0305.html
(The latest version as of this note is 1.9. Please wait until that is
available to grab a copy on which to comment.)
The sample implementation, which is heavily based on Object Craft's existing
csv module, is available at
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/python/python/nondist/sandbox/csv/
To those people who are already using the Object Craft module, make sure you
rename your csv.so file before trying this one out.
Please send feedback to csv@mail.mojam.com. You can subscribe to that list
at
http://manatee.mojam.com/mailman/listinfo/csv
That page contains a pointer to the list archives.
(Many thanks BTW to Barry Warsaw and the Mailman crew for Mailman 2.1. It
looks awesome.)
