Hi Alistar,

Thanks for the links. Yes I am currently reading up on pandas but to 
date no one has mentioned petl.

I have looked at the documentation for petl and the package looks 
interesting. I like your video tutorial.

I also like your sample notebook showing how output from pandas and petl 
are automatically formatted when called in iPython. This is
useful to know.
