Walter Dörwald	f7bc5f9455	Change the example classes UnicodeReader and UnicodeWriter so ... that they work with all encodings. For UnicodeReader the real input stream is wrapped in a line iterator that reencodes the input to UTF-8. For UnicodeWriter the UTF-8 encoded output is written to a queue for where it is reencoded to the target encoding and written to the real output stream.	2006-04-04 17:32:49 +00:00

Thomas Wouters	bbdf6078f6	Fix broken example of csv.reader use (it returns an iterator, which isn't ... indexable) by using the same 'for' construct as all other examples. (Also emphasizes that reading from a random iterable is no different than reading from a file.)	2006-02-16 14:57:05 +00:00

Skip Montanaro	dffeed3ffa	Make the fieldnames argument optional in the DictReader. If self.fieldnames ... is None, the next row read is used as the fieldnames. In the common case, this means the programmer doesn't need to know the fieldnames ahead of time. The first row of the file will be used. In the uncommon case, this means the programmer can set the reader's fieldnames attribute to None at any time and have the next row read as the next set of fieldnames, so a csv file can contain several "sections", each with different fieldnames.	2003-10-03 14:03:01 +00:00
