Thanks foe the answers. I tried that module it's work fine. Now i stucked when i tried to pu into db. Because i have some cell that is in somekind of unicoded text, and i'm looking a solution how to put this into db (my db in utf-8 format). Im using the pgdb modul, something like this: # connection is an object from pgdb class sql = ''' INSERT INTO table (column1,column2, ...) VALUES ( %s, %s, ....); ''' rows = csv.reader(open("sample.csv","rb"), delimiter=":", quotechar='"') for row in rows: connection.cursor.execute(sql % (row[0],row[1],....)) connection.corsur.commit() but something binary in a cell, the pgdb says it is not in utf-8 format, or something like this. I know it's a newbie solution :)) better solution? Rew -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
