Fred Drake a650fb3d6f fix minor markup error that introduced extra punctuation 2006-07-29 20:21:25 +00:00
Skip Montanaro abd51a3585 Add a comment to the csv reader documentation that explains why the
treatment of newlines changed in 2.5.  Pulled almost verbatim from a comment
by Andrew McNamara in <http://python.org/sf/1465014>.

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.

David Goodger cb30f97bd3 added another example of Unicode CSV parsing; reworked the example text a bit; corrected notice in the intro and added a link to the examples 2006-04-04 03:05:44 +00:00
Georg Brandl 58780d2642 Bug #1440831: fix csv UnicodeWriter example 2006-03-07 13:47:22 +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.)

Skip Montanaro 10659f2540 bring description of optional and keyword args for DictReader and DictWriter
classes into line with the actual code.  I didn't see any obvious examples
of latex formatting for *args and **kwds so I just guessed.

Skip Montanaro bdda9f389a The example files need to be opened with the "b" flag. 2004-03-17 01:24:17 +00:00

Skip Montanaro 7895146c40 typo 2004-01-21 13:34:35 +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.

Raymond Hettinger 6f6d7b93bc SF bug #797853: Small problems with the csv module's documentation 2003-08-31 05:44:54 +00:00
Skip Montanaro 5e4e39f12a Note that csv files (when they are actual files) must be opened in 'b'inary
mode.  Note that the only restriction on the csvfile passed to writer
objects is that it have a write method.

  candidate field delimiters.
