foxfluff added the comment: David: You are correct that the goal is to handle CSVs with duplicate headers, and that the main intention is to have some of the behavior of DictReader without the destruction of data (such as the auto population of field names as you stated).
It is not the intention of this to change the behavior of DictReader, as stated in issue 17537. It is instead covering a problem that was discussed later in the thread and would offer an alternative solution with non destructive behavior to DictReader while maintaining backwards compatibility. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue29614> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
