I just discovered the csv module here in the comp.lang.python
group.
It certainly makes life easier.
I have found its manual, which is publicly available, but
since I am still a newby, learning techniques, I was wondering
if the source code for this module is available.
Is it possible to have a look at it?
Yep...the source csv.py is likely already on your computer:
>>> import csv
>>> csv.__file__
'/usr/lib/python2.5/csv.pyc'
tch...@asgix2:~$ ls /usr/lib/python2.5/csv.*
/usr/lib/python2.5/csv.py /usr/lib/python2.5/csv.pyc
Same idea in Windows:
>>> import csv
>>> csv.__file__
'C:\\Program Files\\Python24\\lib\\csv.pyc'
c:\> dir "\Program Files\Python24\lib\csv.*"
...
Just about all the modules in the standard library have python
source in this same directory, so you can spelunk within.
