I have a TSV file containing a few strings like this (double quotes are part of the string): '"pragma: CacheHandler=08616B7E907744E026C9F044250EA55844CCFD52"' After Python and the CVS module has read the file and re-printed the value, the string has become: 'pragma: CacheHandler=08616B7E907744E026C9F044250EA55844CCFD52' which is NOT good for me. I went back to Perl and noticed that Perl was correctly leaving the original string intact. This is what I am using to read the file: with open(file, newline='') as csvfile: myReader = csv.reader(csvfile, delimiter='\t') for row in myReader: and this is what I use to write the cell value sys.stdout.write(row[0]) Is there some directive I can give CVS reader to tell it to stop screwing with my text? Thanks
