[issue2078] CSV Sniffer does not function properly on single column .csv files

Wolfgang Langner <tds333 at gmail.com> added the comment:

The sniffer returns an dialect that is not really correct. Because the
delimiter is set to value and in this case there is no delimiter.
See it as, it returns a random delimiter if there is not really one.

But your usage of the DictReader is wrong. It have to be called with
csv.DictReader(file, dialect=dialect) and then it works in this example.

This could be closed.
