chopping csv-files (newbie)

[Mikael Lexén]

Hi

I get the following when I try to import your module

PythonWin 2.1.3 (#35, Apr  8 2002, 17:47:50) [MSC 32 bit (Intel)] on win32.
Portions Copyright 1994-2001 Mark Hammond (mhammond at skippinet.com.au) - see
'Help/About PythonWin' for further copyright information.
>>> import csv
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<interactive input>", line 1, in ?
ImportError: DLL load failed with error code 193

What's wrong? I'am on NT4.
