But you should already have this object for creating csv.reader() or csv.writer(). Even if keep the argument of the constructor as an instance attribute, there is a problem with naming this attribute. csv.reader works not only with files. It accepts arbitrary iterable. >>> it = iter(['Spam, Spam, Spam, Spam, Spam, Baked Beans', 'Spam, Lovely Spam, >>> Wonderful Spam']) >>> list(csv.reader(it)) [['Spam', ' Spam', ' Spam', ' Spam', ' Spam', ' Baked Beans'], ['Spam', ' Lovely Spam', ' Wonderful Spam']] The dialect property is not a copy of the dialect constructer argument. ---------- nosy: +serhiy.storchaka versions: -Python 2.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue33158> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
