Hello,

I have a csv that comes from another program that I then import into a 
web2py database. It has header names with spaces and that seems to prevent 
it from being imported. I can make a macro in excel to format it before it 
gets imported, but ideally that wouldn't be necessary mainly because then 
the other clerks will have to know and remember to do that step.

I thought I could maybe stick something in the def import_csv like this:

def import_csv(table, file):
    import csv
    csvData = csv.reader(open(file))
    isHeader = True
    for row in csvData:
        if isHeader:
            isHeader = False
            headerRow = row
            for i in range(len(headerRow)):
                # replace spaces w/ underscores in column headers
                headerRow[i] = headerRow[i].replace(' ', '_')
    table.import_from_csv_file(file)

But that doesn't work, and I really don't know if I'm on the right track.
