Something like:
import csv
in_csv=csv.reader( file('your INPUT filenamehere.csv') )
out_csv=csv.writer( file('your OUPUT filenamehere.csv','wb') )
## If you have a header record on your input file, then
out_csv.writerow( in_csv.next() )
## Iterate over your input file
for row in in_csv:
# Row will be a list where row[0]=userid and row[3]=passwd
password=some_function_as_advised_by_rest_of_group()
# Assuming you want to write password as new field then
out_csv.writerow( row + [password] )
# Assuming you want to over-write password field then
row[3] = password
out_csv.writerow(row)
All the best,
Jon.
