[web2py] Re: Possible bug: DAL csv import unable to parse csv file near ): syntax error BUT NO ) in thefile
This is a meta-comment regarding the behavior of this group.
Last night, when i was answering Massimo's question, i noticed that my post
that Massimo was asking about [Jan 4 Hi Derek, ...] showed a* blank
line*between the
*title item* and the beginning of the *data items* *for each *csv.
I don't remember putting those blank lines in. I checked the files from
which i copied and pasted and they don't have blank lines either. I don't
know how those blank lines got in there.
ALSO if you click show quoted text on my answer to Massimo, you will see
the way i originally made the post Massimo was asking about. It DOES NOT
SHOW THOSE BLANK LINES.
Here is how it looked originally. I hope this doesn't change.

Was my post edited somehow? I don't know how to edit a post once it has

Hello Joe, I do not have an answer. I do not have the ability to edit posts therefore I assume none of the other managers has that ability either. I have found some strange behavior with google groups, for example some posts (including mine) have disappeared. In particular I responded to your last posts and commented that web2py expects CSV in the Excel format and escaped strings are supposed to be double quoted, not single quoted. This post somehow never appeared but googlegroup told me it was posted.

communicate on this group clearly and respectfully.

Dear web2py,
I am working my way thru the ajax-live-search-auto-complete
web2pyslice. Instead of using inserts, i thought i'd use csv to populate
the db. When i upload, I get an error flash that says:
unable to parse csv file
near ): syntax error
BUT THERE'S NO ) right parenthesis in the csv. Is this a bug?
Here's the model:
db.define_table('country',
Field('iso'),
Field('name'),
Field('printable_name'),
Field('iso3'),
Field('numcode'))
Here's the csv:
'UY','URUGUAY','Uruguay','URY','858'
'UZ','UZBEKISTAN','Uzbekistan','UZB','860'
'VU','VANUATU','Vanuatu','VUT','548'
'VE','VENEZUELA','Venezuela','VEN','862'
'VN','VIET NAM','Viet Nam','VNM','704'
'VG','VIRGIN ISLANDS, BRITISH','Virgin Islands, British','VGB','092'
'VI','VIRGIN ISLANDS, U.S.','Virgin Islands, U.s.','VIR','850'

'YE','YEMEN','Yemen','YEM','887'
'ZM','ZAMBIA','Zambia','ZMB','894'
'ZW','ZIMBABWE','Zimbabwe','ZWE','716'
This all looks OK to me.
Thanks for the help in advance.
