The OP mentioned "csv.reader". This indicates to me that he *has* read the csv docs (have you?), and is *already* using the csv module. The tasks he says he does often are *not* covered by the standard library. He appears to be asking if there is a higher-level wrapper around the standard library. Please consider reading his question carefully. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
