+Helpers
+=======
+
+Some helper functions provide convenience methods for handling CSV
+data.
+
+:func:`toBool`
+--------------
+
+.. function:: toBool(string)
+
+   `string`
+      String containing some CSV data.
+
+   Turn a string into a boolean value.
+
+   If the string contains one of the values ``'true'``, ``'yes'``,
+   ``'y'``, ``'on'`` or ``'checked'`` then ``True`` is returned,
+   ``False`` otherwise.
+
+   The string can be uppercase, lowercase or mixed:
+
+     >>> from waeup.csvfile import toBool
+     >>> toBool('y')
+     True
+
+     >>> toBool('Yes')
+     True
+
+     >>> toBool('TRUE')
+     True
