Hello Python-devs, The csv module is probably heavily utilized by newcomers to Python, being a very popular data exchange format. Although, there are better tools for processing tabular data like SQLite, or Pandas, I suspect this is still a very popular module. There are many examples floating around how one can read and process CSV with the csv module. Quite a few tutorials show how to use namedtuple to gain memory saving and speed, over the DictReader. Python's own documentation has got a recipe in the collections modules[1] Hence, I was wondering why not go the extra step and add a new class to the CSV module NamedTupleReader? This class would do a good service for Python's users, especially newcomers who are still not aware of modules like the collections module. Would someone be willing to sponsor and review such a PR from me? As a smaller change, we could simply add a link from the CSV module's documentation to the recipe in the collections module. What do you think?
