Tiny case appended.On my system (OS X), csv2rec() of the first file is fine, csv2rec() of the second fails with the mentioned error; they only differ in newline characters. Inconveniently, the one that fails seems to be Excel's default export.
from matplotlib.mlab import csv2rec
from matplotlib.cbook import to_filehandle
print 'Opening a \\r\\n file (good on my system):'
fh = to_filehandle('triangleplot_demo.csv')
soilrec=csv2rec(fh)
print soilrec.dtype
print 'Opening a \\r file (bad on my system):'
fh = to_filehandle('triangleplot_demo2.csv')
soilrec=csv2rec(fh)
print soilrec.dtype
triangleplot_demo.csv
Description: Binary data
triangleplot_demo2.csv

Which sounds like a good idea, but I can't figure out how to specify that in/with/before calling csv2rec.Perhaps you can post the file so we can take a look? FYI, you can pass a file handle in to csv2rec, so if you need to open the file in some special mode, do so and pass csv2rec the file handle rather than file name. JDH
