csvkit

This module contains csvkit’s superpowered reader and writer. For Python 2 users, the greatest improvement over the standard library versions is that these versions are completely unicode aware and can support any encoding by simply passing in the its name at the time they are created. Python 3 resolves the unicode issues with the csv module, so this module is provided mostly for compatability purposes.

This module defines reader, writer, DictReader and DictWriter so you can use it as a drop-in replacement for csv. Alternatively, you can instantiate CSVKitReader, CSVKitWriter, CSVKitDictReader and CSVKitDictWriter directly.
