I have been given a url of CSV file (http://hostname/dir/file.csv), which when I put the full URL in a web browser shows the contents of the file.
I want to be able to use the CSV module to read that file, which I have successfully used with a local CSV file. Any examples anywhere would be appreciated. My basic research suggests URLLIB, but I can not find a suitable example. I do not understand what additional information, needs to be given to the remote site in order for it to expose the contents of the file as though I was reading it locally. Do I need to copy it to my local machine or can I read it directly from the remote site. As you can probably tell, I have never done anything like this, so any help will be gratefully received.
