[Tutor] question about comma delineated text

[nephish]

Hey there,
i have some log files that i want to be able to work with.
the lines of the log files are comma - delineated.
i want to put those into a database where each piece of info (comma 
delineated)
would be the fields of the database.

ok, so the first obstacle is learning how to make a list or dictionary 
(prefer dictionary) out of
each line of the log.

any suggestions of where to start?

thanks
