ASV is a popular Python module to parse or write simple text file formats such as comma-separated values (CSV), tab-separated values (TSV) and colon-separated values. It can easily be extended to cope with other related file formats. This port installs both a Python module ("ASV"), and an executable command-line script ("asv"). This release of ASV requires Python 2.0 or later, and is still to be regarded as a beta version. Author: Laurence Tratt WWW: http://tratt.net/laurie/python/asv/
