For example (untested): import csv inputFile= open(path-to-the-input-file, 'rb') reader = csv.reader(inputFile) outputFile = open(path-to-the-output-file, 'wb') writer = csv.writer(outputFile) for line in reader: region = line [0] for district in line[1:]: writer.write((region, district)) inputFile.close() outputFile.close() Kent _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
