You're using Object Craft's old csv module. They are also the primary authors of the csv module that's been shipped with Python since 2.3. I suggest you convert your code to use the newer module if possible. If that's not possible (it's not all that hard - I did it a couple years ago), try posting a note to [EMAIL PROTECTED] The Object Craft folks are on that list and may be able to help you out. I think they're here as well, though may not watch this group/list as closely. Skip -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
