Thanks for that Tim,
I could use a little more help with this CSV stuff this afternoon and I
can't get it to write the output I want for the life of me. I'm trying to
write a method for my logging class that receives a string as an argument,
and then writes a row to the CSV with the string and a date/time stamp.
''' Add Application Log Entry '''
def addApp(self, event):
writer = csv.writer(open("some.csv", "a"))
writer.writerow(event)
Now if I do something like this; addApp('Application Started') then it
writes to the CSV file somthing like.
A,p,p,l,i,c,a,t,i,o,n, ,S,t,a,r,t,e,d
Which isn't much use to me :-D any ideas how I can get something like this:
2007-01-01,13:00:00,Application Started
Thanks,
Rob

I think I can probably type stuff in faster than that if
I try :) You probably don't have a performance issue there.

Sounds like you don't really need to profile that, but if
you did, Python's a great language for knocking together
that kind of test harness; combine the time, random and
csv modules and you've got a "big fat lumps every now and
then" simulation. (At which point I get jumped on by the
serious model types for being so blase with their discipline!)
