>>> import _csv

Traceback (most recent call last):

TypeError: "quotechar" must be string, not bytes

Hey, that's not true. Quotechar can be None.

>>> _csv.Dialect(quotechar=None)
<_csv.Dialect object at 0x7f64a8534790>

>>> _csv.Dialect(quotechar="cutecat")
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: "quotechar" must be an 1-character string

That's not strictly true. Quotechar can be 0-character string in certain situation.

>>> _csv.Dialect(quotechar="", quoting=csv.QUOTE_NONE)
<_csv.Dialect object at 0x7f64a85345f0>

Python 2.7 suffers the same issue.
