from comma separated values is easy.

That's a great source, and I can generate dictionaries using the other
advice. If you don't request comma delimited, each record per line has |
as a field delimiter, so making big dicts was easy. Naturally, I tried
emailing one of the addresses - aliq...@nunc.org - but it appears to be
dead ;')
Come to think of it, since I used | as a delimiter, what happens if you
generate a CSV file from data that already has commas in the text?
For those who don't know you can use any character as the delimiter and
any character as the quote, see
https://docs.python.org/3/library/csv.html#csv.reader

My fellow Pythonistas, ask not what our language can do for you, ask
what you can do for our language.
