John, The API for the open() builtin function has changed. You should open the output file with newline="" instead of using the default. Take a look at the documentation for open() and csv.reader: http://docs.python.org/py3k/library/functions.html?highlight=open#open http://docs.python.org/py3k/library/csv.html?highlight=csv.reader#csv.reader Note the form of the open() call in the csv.reader example. This one snuck by me as well. Python 3 underwent a lot of change in the I/O subsystem. This was one of them. If changing the form of the open() call doesn't fix the problem, let me know. Skip

John,

The API for the open() builtin function has changed.  You should open

Note the form of the open() call in the csv.reader example.  This one
snuck by me as well.  Python 3 underwent a lot of change in the I/O
subsystem.  This was one of them.  If changing the form of the open()
call doesn't fix the problem, let me know.
