Custom show file playback script

Hey guys,
I'm looking for a way of updating DMX channel values from a csv with data.
I need this in order to record what I would call a "custom show file" from a software like TouchDesigner and have it play from memory. I did an architectural lighting gig where the fixtures were "mapped" using TouchDesigner but this requires a PC to be present. I want to make the control side as compact as possible.
Each column of the csv would represent a DMX channel, and each row would have a certain combination of values. Looping through the rows would generate a sort of animation that would be extremely tedious to program otherwise.
Is there any python way of doing this?
Thanks!

here's a link to the installation I did

You might check out https://github.com/scottgrobinson/qlcpluspythonscripts .. which is some scripts to generate cue lists.

I also have been working on some python library set to manage showfiles .. i've only made minimal headway because of showSeason(tm) .. you can see that effort here: https://github.com/sandinak/qlcplus-tools/ .. tho I'll make a bigger announcement once complete.
