Package: python3-csvkit
Version: 0.9.1-3

The -t (--tabs) and -d (--delimiter) options only change the
input delimiter, while the output delimiter is hard-coded to
be a comma.

There doesn't appear to be any way to change the output delimiter.

Using tr or similar to work around this is unreliable - there may be
actual commas in any of the tab-separated fields.  It also defeats the
purpose of using specialised tools like csvcut.

e.g. see example usage of csvcut and comments at 
http://unix.stackexchange.com/a/186354/7696


The output delimiter should either be the same as the input delimiter
or there should be extra options (perhaps -T and -D) to set it
(similar to the way awk's FS and OFS variables work)

Thanks,
