New submission from Bill Fenner: When a field has internal line breaks, e.g.,
foo,"bar baz biff",boo that is actually 3 lines, but one csv-file row. csv.reader() converts this to ['foo', 'bar\nbaz\nbiff', 'boo']. This is a reasonable behavior. Unfortunately, csv.writer() does not use the dialect's lineterminator setting for values with such internal linebreaks. This means that the resulting file will have a mix of line-termination styles: foo,"bar\n baz\n biff",boo\r\n If the reading csv implementation is strict about its line termination, these line breaks will not be read properly. ---------- messages: 57902 nosy: fenner severity: normal status: open title: csv input converts \r\n to \n but csv output does not when a field has internal line breaks type: behavior versions: Python 2.4 __________________________________ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue1511> __________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
