jaywalker <jaywal...@yahoo.com> added the comment: In an unlikely scenario: say one of the fields has an embedded \r. For instance "blahblah\r" is the value of the first column. Now open this file in text mode. What happens to this '\r' even before csv.reader sees it? If it remains intact, no problem. If it is converted to a newline in any platform, and that newline is not exactly \r, does this not introduce a problem?
Just curious...
