   Ah, so.

Ethan,

   That's what I thought you did in the lines

reader = csv.reader(open(filename,"r"),
                     delimiter="|",
                     quotechar="'")

output = csv.writer(open("out.txt","w"),
                     delimiter="|",
                     quotechar="'")

   but reader.close() and output.close() generated python errors.
