Exactly the same way that it works for string literals in source code: once the source code is compiled, the literal is indistinguishable from the same value written a different way. > And I want the same error to occur if my CSV parser tries to convert > '123 456' into a single number.

Once again, this is a discussion about Python syntax, not the behaviour of the csv module. -- \ "I always had a repulsive need to be something more than | `\ human." -- David Bowie | _o__) | Ben Finney -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
