Quite a while ago I posted some material to the csv-list about problems using the csv module on Unix-style colon-separated files -- it just doesn't deal properly with backslash escaping and is quite useless for this kind of file. I seem to recall the general view was that it wasn't intended for this kind of thing -- only the sort of csv that Microsoft Excel outputs/inputs, but if I am mistaken about this, perhaps fixing this issue might be put on the TODO-list? I'll be happy to re-send or summarize the relevant emails, if needed.
