How do you handle unicode?  (The csv module barfs, I think DSV gets it
right by accident not design).

The DSV module has two very nice features.  One is that it guesses the
delimiter (and even gets it right sometimes :-) and the other is that
it guesses if the first row is a header row (and gets that right sometimes
as well :-)

BitPim currently has almost every possible Python/C integration method
in use!  There is Swig for the usb stuff, half Swig/half C++ for Windows
Address Book (currently unused) and full custom code for APSW and string
matching.

I presume you saw the todo list - http://bitpim.org/todo.html

There are several other items not on there as well such as tighter integration
on Linux and Mac.  Are you interested in algorithms, user interface, OS
plumbing?
