I regularly use a Perl script called from Zope to do the opposite conversion: *from* xls *to* csv.

I've thought I misunderstood something in the documentation that I could Perl directly in an External Script without wrapping it in Python.

Still, if you want to _create_ csv from database, you sure dont need perl. Remember the overhead of calling a foreign interpreter just for generation of a text string which could be done in python easyly, without even requiring external methods. You only have to analyze the output of your perl script and make your python method output the same. This schould not be so hard. Regards Tino
