PEP 305 - CSV File API

[Skip Montanaro]

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 at 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.)
