I wasn't even aware of your package...  Aside from the heuristic delimiter
bit, python-dsv sounds (functionally) about like Dave Cole's csv module.  As
I mentioned before, performance is a significant issue for me because I both
generate and parse some very large CSV files.  The fact that the csv module
is written in C makes a difference.
