[PATCH] location-importer: Replace ARIN AS names source with one that offers human-readable names
This patch replaces our previous source for AS names in ARIN's realms with another file provided by ARIN that contains human-readable names for organizations ASNs have been allocated to.
Please note that a
TRUNCATE autnums;
is necessary on machines previously running the old version of location-importer, in order to make use of this changed data source.

It would be great if we could avoid any manual interaction in the future...

In case you really cannot rely on the number of fields, wrap this around a try/except block that catches any lines that are shorter. We should expect that any additional fields are being added at any time.
try:
- asn = int(asn)
- firstasn = int(firstasn.strip("""))
- lastasn = int(lastasn.strip("""))
If you have to strip the quotes, you probably are using the CSV parser with an incorrect configuration.
You might need to register a new dialect like so:
csv.register_dialect(“arin", delimiter=“,", quoting=csv.QUOTE_ALL, quotechar="\”")
You can then initialise the reader like so:
reader = csv.DictReader(f, dialect=“arin”)
If you are feeling really fancy and want to avoid parsing fields in a complicated way, you can even populate the fieldnames parameter.

With the fixed CSV parser, you will not need to strip here. This also has the downside of removing any quotes in the middle of the string. Not sure whether that is a likely case, but nevertheless, we should use the data that we receive unchanged unless we have a strong reason to change anything here.

Hello Peter,
I have largely rewritten this patch based on the CSV parser:
