[issue6723] csv.writer: example does not work
New submission from Nicolas Goutte nicolas.gou...@extragroup.de:
In the documentation for csv.writer, the example
spamWriter = csv.writer(open('eggs.csv', 'w'), delimiter=' ',
quotechar='|', quoting=QUOTE_MINIMAL)
does not work, as Python complains about SyntaxError: invalid syntax,
as QUOTE_MINIMAL is not a global identifier.
By replacing QUOTE_MINIMAL by csv.QUOTE_MINIMAL there is no syntax error
anymore.
I have discovered the issue with python 2.6.2. All online documentation
version (2.6, 2.7, 3.1, 3.2) seem to have the same documentation (e.g.
http://docs.python.org/library/csv.html )
