handling tabular data in python--newbie question

[hyena]

Thanks Bruno and Steve for the quick answer!

>What make you think such a thing ?
I am also using R and java from time to time, and think it is very covinient 
that in R tables are handled as matrixs or data frames. Thus I expect python 
has something similiar. :)

And I went for Steve's first suggestion, which is just what I want at this 
moment.

Thanks again.
