New issue 200: Expose csv.Dialect in beancount.ingest.importers.csv.Importer
https://bitbucket.org/blais/beancount/issues/200/expose-csvdialect-in
Johannes Harms:
I have been playing around with the CSV importer provided in
`beancount.ingest.importers.csv.Importer`, trying to import CSV like the
following example data mimicking by bank's csv format:
```
DE40100100100000012345;Paying the rent;04.09.2017;04.09.2017;-800,00;EUR
DE40100100100000012345;Transfering accumulated savings to other
account;05.09.2017;05.09.2017;-2500,00;EUR
DE40100100100000012345;Payroll;04.09.2017;04.09.2017;2000,00;EUR
```
One specialty of the above CSV is that it uses semicolons instead of commas as
column separators. My suggestion is: This could easily be configured by passing
a `csv.Dialect` to the beancount csv importer. E.g., by adding an additional
parameter to its `__init__` method, as follows
```python
class Importer(regexp.RegexpImporterMixin, importer.ImporterProtocol):
def __init__(self, config, account, currency, regexps,
institution=None,
debug=False,
csv_dialect : Union[str, csv.Dialect] ='excel'):
```
I have tried it out already, which means I can contribute a merge request.
(I'll push it in a few minutes).
