Peter Otten added the comment:
Have you considered writing your own little sniffer? Getting it right for your
actual data is usually easier to achieve than a general solution.
The following simplistic sniffer should work with your samples:
def make_dialect(delimiter):
class Dialect(csv.excel):
pass
Dialect.delimiter = delimiter
return Dialect
def sniff(sample):
count, delimiter = max(
((sample.count(delim), delim) for delim in ",\t|;"),
key=operator.itemgetter(0))
if count == 0:
if " " in sample:
delimiter = " "
else:
raise csv.Error("Could not determine delimiter")
return make_dialect(delimiter)
Tiago, If you want to follow that path we should take the discussion to the
general python mailing list.
