New submission from Eric Haszlakiewicz:
I'm trying to emit a single line of csv without any line terminators, but
specifying lineterminator=None results in a "lineterminator must be set" error,
and setting lineterminator='' results in lack of quotes around certain fields.
with open("foo.csv", "wb") as csvfile:
csvw = csv.writer(csvfile, quoting=csv.QUOTE_MINIMAL, lineterminator='')
csvw.writerow(["col1","col2\ndata", "col3"])
I expected the contents of the file to be:
col1,"col2
data",col3
It should be possible to change the lineterminator without changing the quoting
behavior.
At the very least, the documentation needs to explain better what logic is used
to determine whether something gets quoted, and what affects that.
