Rename CSV submodule

[mgrover1]

• ACT version: 2.0
• Python version: All
• Operating System: All

Description

We should consider renaming the act.io.csv submodule in ACT. It will lead to import issues with pandas, as it is not recommended to have modules titled csv

see the thread here

We can still keep the same API - read_csv, but we should rename to something like "text" or "tabular". Thoughts?

What I Did

Upon submitting a PR, the following error appeared:

ImportError: cannot import name 'QUOTE_NONNUMERIC' from partially initialized module 'csv' (most likely due to a circular import) (/Users/jrobrien/dev/ACT/act/io/csv.py)

@mgrover1 I would be fine with that, we would just need to reach out to the DQ folks etc. It should not change the import path if act.io.read_csv is used, but i know sometimes act.io.csv. has been used. So would have to make sure it doesn't break anything. I post in the act channel

[AdamTheisen]

I would be okay changing it to act.io.text since it really can do more than just csv

[mgrover1]

I agree here @AdamTheisen !! I can draft up a PR.

[zssherman]

@AdamTheisen @mgrover1 Sounds good! I say yeah, submit the PR and we'll greenlight once we get the ok from the DQ folks

PySP2 will need an update as well here (cc @rcjackson )

Just let me know what is decided for the new name then I can push a micro-release.

[mgrover1]

act.io.text is the decision based on the conversation in this thread

@mgrover1 Can we drop the second import path/reference as we're importing read_csv in the init?
