csv23 0.1.3

Python 2/3 unicode CSV compatibility layer

csv23 provides the unicode-based API of the Python 3 csv module for Python 2 and 3. Code that should run under both versions of Python can use it to hide the bytes vs. text difference between 2 and 3 and stick to the newer unicode-based interface.

The package also provides simple convenience functionality such as the open_csv() context manager for opening a CSV file in the right mode and returning a csv.reader or csv.writer:

>>> import csv23

>>> with csv23.open_csv('spam.csv') as reader:  # doctest: +SKIP
...     for row in reader:
...         print(', '.join(row))
Spam!, Spam!, Spam!'
Spam!, Lovely Spam!, Lovely Spam!'

It uses utf-8 as default encoding everywhere.
