One alternative is to look at PyObjC, because Python ships with a
csv module.. though it's not optimal since current versions have a
limitation such that it only knows how to deal with bytestrings,
not unicode, so you have to encode everything into utf-8 before
putting it into the csv and decode it from utf-8 after getting it out.
I've used python to read a csv file and it can't handle mac line
endings too, which the files I need to read have. So, with PyObjC, I
used NSString's componentsSeparatedByString: method to read the file,
so I have found this to be useful, but obviously you have to
experiment given on csv files you have. I did have to strip some
quote marks from the ends of the array of strings, but I was able to
still do it easily with NSString and NSArray methods.
