I have a TSV file containing a few strings like this (double quotes are part of the string):

'"pragma: CacheHandler=08616B7E907744E026C9F044250EA55844CCFD52"'

After Python and the CVS module has read the file and re-printed the value, the string has become:

'pragma: CacheHandler=08616B7E907744E026C9F044250EA55844CCFD52'

which is NOT good for me. I went back to Perl and noticed that Perl was correctly leaving the original string intact.

This is what I am using to read the file:


with open(file, newline='') as csvfile:

    myReader = csv.reader(csvfile, delimiter='\t')
    for row in myReader:

and this is what I use to write the cell value

    sys.stdout.write(row[0])

Is there some directive I can give CVS reader to tell it to stop screwing with my text?

Thanks
