Some sort of comprehension test is probably required to know for
sure, but I doubt the code benefits much at all from the columns.
styles = [
("normal", "image", MainWindow.ColorsNormalList),
("highlighted", "highlight", MainWindow.ColorsHighlightedList),
("selected", "select", MainWindow.ColorsSelectedList)]
Moreover, I jump the gun early on tables like this.
styles = [csv.reader(open("styles.csv", newlines=''))]
Maybe too early. ;)
