hello, I'm using cvs standard module under Python 2.3 / 2.4 to write a file delimited with tabs. I use the "excel-tab" dialect to do that.
To read my CSV file, I choose to 'sniff' with a sample data in order to get the dialect. The problem I meet is that I get a wrong dialect: the sniffer return an empty string delimiter. It is probably a bug in _guess_delimiter() method. The message I obtain is: TypeError: bad argument type for built-in operation Do you know a way to sniff tab-delimited data ? Is it a known bug ?
