*facepalm* I always forget that. Command line working fine now, and I was able
to diagnose the csv import issue. The problem was due to the carriage returns
in
the .csv file (which was exported from Excel, and therefore had carriage
returns
rather than newlines at the end of each row). Replaced the \r's with \n's, and
now the import seems to work fine.
The error message (below, seen trying to import the uncorrected file) seems to
indicate that there would be a way to open the file such that the \r would be
interpreted as newline when running csv2lyx.py. For future reference, is
there a
way to force this mode in Lyx when importing csv's, or is replacing all \r's
the
better option?
The error message:
$ lyx -i csv manualParameters.csv
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/Applications/Lyx.app/Contents/Resources/scripts/csv2lyx.py", line 164,
in <module>
for row in reader:
_csv.Error: new-line character seen in unquoted field - do you need to open the
file in universal-newline mode?
Error: Cannot convert file

Thanks again,
