  I suggest using cx_oracle (<a
 href="http://www.computronix.com/utilities.shtml" eudora="autourl">http://www.computronix.com/utilities.shtml</a>
 ).<br>
   <br>
  import cx_Oracle&nbsp; <br>
  conn = cx_Oracle.connect(xxx/yyy@zzz)<br>
  c = conn.cursor()<br>
  c.execute('select 1,2, 3 from dual')<br>
  l = c.fetchall()<br>
  # now you have a list of tuples, one tuple per row.<br>
   <br>
  There have been several discussions on this list regarding modules for
csv files. I have not tried it, but look at <a
 href="http://tratt.net/laurie/python/asv/" eudora="autourl">http://tratt.net/laurie/python/asv/</a>
 . "ASV is a platform independent Python module to input, manipulate and
output `simple' database storage file formats such as CSV (Comma Seperated
Value) ....". I do not take credit for spelling  here!<br>
