New submission from André Lehmann <andre.lehm...@siemens.com>: When using the csv.DictReader a dialect can be given to change the behavior of interpretation of the csv file.
The Dialect has an option "skipinitialspace" which shall ignore the whitespace after the delimiter according to the documentation (https://docs.python.org/3/library/csv.html). Unfortunately this works only for spaces but not for tabs which are also whitespaces. See the following code snippet applied on the attached file: with open("conf-csv", "r") as csvfile: csv.register_dialect("comma_and_ws", skipinitialspace=True) csv_dict_reader = csv.DictReader(csvfile, dialect="comma_and_ws") for line in csv_dict_reader: print(line) The second line shall not contain "\t" chars. ---------- files: conf.csv messages: 334289 nosy: andre.lehmann priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: csv.DictReader, skipinitialspace does not ignore tabs type: behavior versions: Python 3.5 Added file: https://bugs.python.org/file48075/conf.csv _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue35816> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
