CSS (Center for Seismic Studies) format

Hi,

I'm a new obspy user and rather unexperienced with python. According to the documentation, the obspy read function does not support CSS data. Has anyone experiences or know about existing modules for importing CSS data with python? 

I could of course convert my CSS data base externally to an obspy readable format, but it would be nice to have a more elegant solution.

Thanks in advance!

Andreas
