Python bindings on Mac OS 10.9

[Alexandro Colorado]

OpenOffice includes Python in the application and also includes the csv
module.  On linux is:
/opt/openoffice4/program/python-core-2.7.5/lib/csv.py

Where /opt/ is the installation folder. On Windows this could be C:\Program
Files\OpenOffice 4/

Mac would be like Applications or something.

Also you can easily insert information from OpenOffice itself through
macros which work on Basic. Please read:

https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/BASIC_Guide

There is a python guide too, but this is just another route to go.

A third route is to use python modules to generate or transcode to ODF,
something like ODFpy to convert from one format to the next:
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/odfpy
It includes csv2odf (spreadsheet)
