Any Good tools to create CSV Files?

Any Good tools to create CSV Files? ReportLab only creates pdf
files. I need something to create CSV files.

Thank you.

You mean something like the csv module that is part of Python's standard
library?

>>import csv
help(csv)

You have to admit, the module name is not really intuitive... :)

In all fairness, the csv module is new in Python 2.3, and I'm sure I'm
not the only person still using Python 2.2 for production.

That is true, on the other hand, Reportlab is made for at least Python
2.4, "although it will work with 2.3" - so he has 2.3 at least :)

In all fairness to those making ironic comments, the OP has given no
indication that he is bound to an old version of Python.

The Object-Craft csv extension module (ancestor of the Python csv
module) has been available since October 2000. It still shows up in
Google [it's the 3rd result if one searches for "python csv"] and has
the source available for download -- there are even Windows binaries
(.pyd) for Python 2.1 and 2.2.

In all fairness to the OP, perhaps he has never heard of search engines,
or perhaps he has no ARPA^H^H^H^HInt ernet access.

I've been using ReportLab since the 2.1 days, if not farther back.
