If you are just extracting data and repackaging it for R then the format doesn't matter too much. You certainly won;t need a named tuple. Either use the dictionary reader if you want to access fields by name (especially good if the incoming CSV file format is likely to change) or use the standard reader and use indexes to get the fields you need. Writing it out you can again use the csv writers. Which writer will depend on the format your stats package wants/prefers. -- Alan G Author of the Learn to Program web site http://www.alan-g.me.uk/ http://www.amazon.com/author/alan_gauld Follow my photo-blog on Flickr at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/alangauldphotos _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
