I was trying out 'csv module' and noticed that it wouldn't accept a dialect of 'excel_tab' as documented. Then I noticed that csv.list_dialects() gave 'excel-tab' instead of 'excel_tab' as documented. I'm not sure which one it's supposed to be, but I guess when in doubt the docs are wrong. I leave these issues to the higher gods. Thanks for the work on this module. I'm enjoying it! |

The string name of the dialect is "excel-tab". Hyphens are not
valid characters in identifiers though, so the actual object
is named "excel_tab". When you call csv.get_dialect("excel-tab")
it instantiates the csv.excel_tab class and returns that:
>>> csv.list_dialects()
['excel-tab', 'excel']
>>> csv.get_dialect("excel-tab")
<csv.excel_tab instance at 0x820b50c>
>>> csv.excel_tab
<class csv.excel_tab at 0x81f9f5c>
>>> csv.get_dialect("excel-tab").__class__ == csv.excel_tab
True
