> well, one would have the same problem with commas...
No, because a long string that contains commas is surrounded by "...". Now, you tell me that it becomes a problem if you have " characters in the message? No, because it becomes "" (see http://trac.sagemath.org/ticket/19149?format=csv) This being said, you don't even have to deal with this yourself, as Python does it well already. The following (working) example encodes in csv a table whose cells contains both " and , characters. Nathann import csv tricky_table = [["A", "b\"\",\"Whatever,,,"], ["\"Lalala,\"\"\",,,,,", "HeyHey\"\",,"]] with open("/tmp/test","w") as f: w = csv.writer(f) w.writerows(tricky_table) with open("/tmp/test","r") as f: tw = list(csv.reader(f)) assert tw == tricky_table -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
