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