Install the "CSV" module
50+
------------------------
51+
52+
Note: CSV stands for Comma-Separated-Value. These files are used by all
53+
manner of programs (eg. spreadsheets) to exchange data.
54+
55+
The "CSV" module is required if you wish to import or export data in the
56+
tracker, or if you wish to use the online generic class editing facility.
57+
58+
If you're using a version of Python older than 2.3, then you will need to
59+
install the "CSV" module from `Object Craft`_. Users of Python2.3 and later
60+
don't need to. If you have a C compiler installed, then download the source
61+
and follow their installation instructions (simply ``python setup.py
62+
install``.)
63+
64+
If you're on Windows and don't have a C compiler, then you'll need to
65+
download the pre-compiled ``csv.pyd`` file and install it. To install, just
66+
copy it to your Python installation in the ``lib\site-packages`` directory.
67+
For Python 2.2, this would be::
68+
69+
c:\python22\lib\site-packages
70+
71+
Once the CSV module is installed, you *must* restart roundup-server if it
72+
is already running, or the new module won't be detected.
73+
74+
If you're on some other platform and don't have a C compiler, you'll need
75+
to ask for help on the roundup-users mailing list.
