New submission from Eric Haszlakiewicz: I'm trying to emit a single line of csv without any line terminators, but specifying lineterminator=None results in a "lineterminator must be set" error, and setting lineterminator='' results in lack of quotes around certain fields.
with open("foo.csv", "wb") as csvfile: csvw = csv.writer(csvfile, quoting=csv.QUOTE_MINIMAL, lineterminator='') csvw.writerow(["col1","col2\ndata", "col3"]) I expected the contents of the file to be: col1,"col2 data",col3 It should be possible to change the lineterminator without changing the quoting behavior. At the very least, the documentation needs to explain better what logic is used to determine whether something gets quoted, and what affects that. ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 231083 nosy: Eric.Haszlakiewicz priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: csv writer with blank lineterminator breaks quoting type: behavior versions: Python 2.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue22855> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
