## Executive Summary
These are quick and dirty python scripts I threw together to
facilitate manipulating CSV files with AWK. It is heavily inspired by
[csvquote](https://github.com/adamgordonbell/csvquote). I just didn't
want to have to install go on a machine to use it. I wrote this one
in Python because that's very likely to already be present on most any
modern UNIX-ey system.

and write to standard output. The format they convert the CSV to/from

put-together code you've ever seen. It gets the job done though.
