New submission from Pavel Shpilev <p.shpi...@gmail.com>: It appears that in current implementation csv.QUOTE_ALL has no effect on csv. reader(), it only affects csv.writer(). I know that csv is a poorly defined format and all, but I think this might be useful to distinguish None and '' values for the sources that use such quoting.
Example: "1","Noneval",,"9" "2","Emptystr","","10" "3","somethingelse","","8" Reader converts all values in the third column to empty strings. The suggestion is to adjust reader's behaviour so when quoting=csv.QUOTE_ALL that would instruct reader to convert empty values (like the one in the first row) to None instead. ---------- components: Extension Modules messages: 312617 nosy: Pavel Shpilev priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: csv.reader() to support QUOTE_ALL type: enhancement versions: Python 3.7, Python 3.8 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue32919> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
