I'm new to python and my programming years are a ways behind me, so I
was looking for some help in parsing a file into a chart using the
Google Charts API.

The file is simply a text file containing: Date, Total Accesses,
Unique Accesses.

I'd like date across the bottom, access numbers on the vertical axis
and lines for the amounts.

I'm not even really sure how to get started if someone wants to give
me some pointers or throw together a short example, I would greatly
appreciate it.

Here is a sample of the data:
