Hmm, to help you i need to know which version of schooltool are you
using? And how did you install it (svn checkout of trunk, buildout, or
one of the school specific branches).

I'd assume that you are running a trunk checkout without buildout. So
my suggestion for gradebook development would be checking out the
jelkner school specific branch as most if not all gradebook
development is being performed by Jeff Elkner and Allan Elkner.

For installation instructions look at the section
"jelkner2007-buildout" in http://ignas.pov.lt/state-of-the-nation.html

If "csv parser module in the python libs" means the csv module in
python standard library, and "objects" means "objections" then - no we
don't have any objections, actually we are using python csv module for
our own CSV work too.
