What:
Python-DSV is a CSV file importer/exporter (DSV stands for
"delimiter-separated-values").

Features:
- Heuristics for automatically determining the format of the file.
   - Discovers delimiter (comma, tab, colon, whatever).
   - Discovers text-qualifier (single or double quote).
   - Determines whether first row is header or data.
- Can use almost any character as delimiter.
- Correctly parses embedded quotes, newlines and delimiters.
- Optional wxPython dialog (ala MS Excel) for previewing data.
- Error-handling callbacks for malformed rows.
- 100% Python.
- Reasonably fast.

Apologies to those who downloaded 1.3.1 and discovered that it wouldn't run
because of a dumb oversight on my part (doh!).

Changes from 1.3.1 to 1.3.2:
- It runs!
- Uses distutils

Changes from 1.3.2 to 1.3.3:
- Updated documentation (although still thin, it should be sufficient).
