...
etc.
-----------------------

The first column is date + time. I know how to use simple tuples, list's 
and dict's. But I don't think it's a good idea to make each line an 
element in a list/dict ?

I want to put this table into an appropriate container such that 
afterwards I want to:

1) Put the data into a mySql-table
2) Be able to easily plot column 1 vs. either of the other columns using 
matplotlib etc...

I consider myself a python-newbie so I'm not that good with 
containers... I found something here: 
http://docs.python.org/dev/library/collections.html but I'm not really 
sure what is a good pythonic way of storing this data?

I also think that maybe I ought to convert the first data+time column 
into a single number, because right now it's a string (because there's a 
"T" in the middle of column 1)... Letting the date+time-column (=column 
1) become entirely numbers, makes it easier to plot in matplotlib 
afterwards...

I'm not sure how to store this in an efficient manner... What (=how?) 
would you do it?

Thanks...
