``` >>> list(csv.reader(['param1,"param21,param22",param3'])) [['param1', 'param21,param22', 'param3']] >>> list(csv.reader(['param1, "param21,param22", param3'])) [['param1', ' "param21', 'param22"', ' param3']] ``` version 3.7.4 on linux

Can you please add a description of the expected behavior? Does skipinitialspace help with the second input? https://docs.python.org/3/library/csv.html#csv.Dialect.skipinitialspace >>> import csv >>> list(csv.reader(['param1,"param21,param22",param3'])) [['param1', 'param21,param22', 'param3']] >>> list(csv.reader(['param1, "param21,param22", param3'])) [['param1', ' "param21', 'param22"', ' param3']] >>> list(csv.reader(['param1, "param21,param22", param3'], skipinitialspace=True)) [['param1', 'param21,param22', 'param3']] >>> list(csv.reader(['param1,"param21,param22",param3'])) == list(csv.reader(['param1, "param21,param22", param3'], skipinitialspace=True)) True
