class CSVParser
`` | `Parses CSV files including all subtleties such as: * commas in fields * double quotes in fields * embedded newlines in fields - Examples of programs that produce such beasts include MySQL and Excel For a higher-level, friendlier CSV class with many conveniences, see DataTable (which uses this class for its parsing). Example: records = [] parse = CSVParser().parse for line in lines: results = parse(line) if results is not None: records.append(results) CREDIT The algorithm was taken directly from the open source Python C-extension, csv: http://www.object-craft.com.au/projects/csv/ It would be nice to use the csv module when present, since it is substantially faster. Before that can be done, it needs to support allowComments and stripWhitespace, and pass the TestCSVParser.py test suite.`
