New submission from Eric Breck <ebr...@gmail.com>: Consider the attached two files. A reader and writer with the same dialect parameters (escapechar \ quotechar " doublequote False) read, then write a CSV cell that looks like "C\\". It's written "C\". The problem is, when doublequote=False, the escapechar isn't used to escape itself, and the writer writes something that in the same dialect would be understood differently (\" isn't \ then end of string, it's an escaped quotechar within the string).
Execute python err.py first.csv to see. ---------- components: None files: pybug.zip messages: 136881 nosy: ebreck priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: csv writer doesn't escape escapechar type: behavior versions: Python 2.6, Python 2.7 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file22112/pybug.zip _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue12178> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
