Martin Panter <vadmium...@gmail.com> added the comment: This is the result that I see:
>>> output = StringIO() >>> csv.writer(output, lineterminator='\n').writerow(["Whoa!\rNewlines!"]) 16 >>> output.getvalue() 'Whoa!\rNewlines!\n' For comparison, this is the result with CRLF terminators (the default): >>> output = StringIO() >>> csv.writer(output, lineterminator='\r\n').writerow(["Whoa!\rNewlines!"]) 19 >>> output.getvalue() '"Whoa!\rNewlines!"\r\n' Is it a problem that the line terminator determines whether the CR is quoted or not? I believe the default policy is “excel”, which happens to use QUOTE_MINIMAL. This behaviour is documented: <https://docs.python.org/3.7/library/csv.html#csv.QUOTE_MINIMAL>. ---------- nosy: +martin.panter resolution: -> not a bug status: open -> pending _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue36246> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
