I've using the csv module to parse a string, not a file.
So how do I make a string look like a file so I can call csv.reader()
with it?
An an example, I'd like to call something like:
csvReader = csv.reader("1,2,3,4")
... but this direct attempt won't work as it expects a file or a handle...
thanks

import StringIO

I know this suggestion comes a bit late but
csvReader = csv.reader("1,2,3,4".splitlines(1))
may be a bit more efficient. csv.reader() does not actually require a
file-like object - any iterable will do, such as a list. The docstring is
explicit about this even though the online docs imply that the "csvfile"
object must have a next() method.
