Can't you turn the csv into json on the server side?
That's one option, and I might wind up doing something like that. As I
implied, though, my app is purely browser-based right now. The HTTP
request I mentioned is to a Google Docs document, requesting
output=csv. I haven't found any good way to get Google to output a json
format.
I'm hoping for more information on the JS error trying to read from the
StringIO object; if I can get that to work, it'll be the shortest and
cleanest path.
Thanks,
Don

I'm just getting started on my first pyjs app, and am enjoying it
so far. I've run into a problem, though:
My app will be getting CSV data from an HTTP request. For now,
I'm testing it with local CSV data that I've wrapped as a string
in a .py module, so I can import it (I can't read it from a local
file, natch, and I don't want to tackle AJAX until I have to).
So, what I have on import is a CSV string that I want to parse
into a list of lists with the csv.reader() method. That method,
though, takes a "file-like object", which I can create using
StringIO. The problem, though, is that, when I do "rdr =
reader(StringIO(csvdata))", I get the following error:
*JavaScript Error: * TypeError: self is undefined at line number
12087. Please inform webmaster.
TrackerSucker.py, line 89:
rdr = reader(sio)
("sio" is the StringIO object.)
Is this something I can fix or easily work around, or am I going
to need to find a different approach?
Thanks,
Don Dwiggins
