If I may comment, Python is not Perl, and trying to solve things the 
Perl way, while still possible, may not be the best idea (I don't mean 
Perl is a bad idea in itself - just that it's another language with 
another way to do things).

Here, doing the parsing oneself - either manually as james did or with 
regexps - is certainly not as easy as with Perl, and IMHO not the 
simplest way to go, when the csv module can take care of parsing and 
formatting CSV files and the datetime module of parsing and formatting 
dates.

Just my 2 cents...
