<rant>I've been using the CSV module from Object-Craft for quite a
while now in various projects, including Roundup. Python's finally gotten
itself a built-in CSV module. And early on there was talk of basing it on
the Object-Craft module. Except somewhere along the way the entire API was
thrown out and designed from scratch. The module still has the same name,
so all my code that has "import csv" now breaks. The old API isn't even
mutually exclusive with the new one.</rant>
sigh
I knew about this before Roundup's 0.6 release, BTW. Time to actually
"fix" Roundup is a little lacking though. And the frustration at
that makes me feel the need to rant about it now.
Hey, I'm just one user who's been put out by this. I
think the existence of any csv module in Python outweighs any
incovenience to a select few users. But geez, there could've been a
compatibility API...
