[Python-Dev] 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@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.)
