* Fix a delimiter detection problem in sniffer. Sniffing "a|b|c\r\n" wasSkip Montanaro2005-12-301-3/+10

Would someone that understands the idea behind _guess_delimiter() (see its doc string) look to see if my fallback choice is better than before or if it's just serendipity that I picked the proper delimiter?
* Fix for problem with Sniffer class. If your delimiter is whitespace and theSkip Montanaro2005-12-281-1/+1

* Make the fieldnames argument optional in the DictReader. If self.fieldnamesSkip Montanaro2003-10-031-1/+5
| | | | | | | | | is None, the next row read is used as the fieldnames. In the common case, this means the programmer doesn't need to know the fieldnames ahead of time. The first row of the file will be used. In the uncommon case, this means the programmer can set the reader's fieldnames attribute to None at any time and have the next row read as the next set of fieldnames, so a csv file can contain several "sections", each with different fieldnames.

* SF Patch #744104: Remove eval() from csvRaymond Hettinger2003-06-121-17/+18
| | | | | | | | | | | Eliminates the eval() step in the csv module resulting in better security, more clarity, and a little speed. The idea is to make successive attempts to coerce the string to a python type: int(s), long(s), float(s), etc. As a by-product, eliminates a bare 'except' statement.
