This is fairly straight forward in python: import string f = open('file.csv') for a in f.readlines(): b = string.split(a, ',') # b is a list of all the line elements All you need to do after that is use the data in b to add a ZClass instance. Troy

this is exactly what I am trying to figure out right now. Have you seen an example of this type of external method anywhere?

It may just be me, but your question doesn't make sense. I think you want to:

1) Make a zclass that holds the data 2) Write an external method that parses the csv file and 3) use the same external method to add instances of the ZClass with the data from the csv file.

I have a csv file and I would like to import it into a zclass structure. Is there a way to do this in Zope?

Thanks,

Chris
