Minor comment:  If you change the subject people who sort by subject to
follow a thread (perhaps only those who are braindead like me do that, but
anyway), folks really have no idea what you're referring to.

Sample:

f = file(filename)
lines = f.readlines()
f.close()

for line in lines:
  fields = line.split(",")
  for field in fields:
    etc.

Ain't Python just purty?
