[issue27302] csv.Sniffer guesses wrong when unquoted fields contain quotes

[R. David Murray]

R. David Murray added the comment:

Sniff is a heuristic.  If you can suggest a way to improve the heuristic, 
great.  A particular failed guess isn't really a bug, though.

[issue27302] csv.Sniffer guesses wrong when unquoted fields contain quotes

[Redoute]

New submission from Redoute:

When delimited text fields are not quoted, but embedded text contains some 
quoted words, sniff() will guess the wrong delimiter. The attached script 
contains a simple tab-delimited text where sniff() detects space as delimiter.
