[issue11456] Documentation csv RFC4180

New submission from Tony Wallace <tony@tony.gen.nz>: Change to documentation preamble for csv module: From: There is no “CSV standard”, so the format is operationally defined by the many applications which read and write it. The lack of a standard means that subtle differences often exist in the data produced and consumed by different applications. To: CSV has been used for many years prior to attempts to standardise it in RFC4180. This has resulted in subtle differences often exist in the data produced and consumed by different applications. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 130469 nosy: docs@python, tonywallace priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Documentation csv RFC4180 type: feature request versions: Python 2.5, Python 2.6, Python 2.7, Python 3.1, Python 3.2, Python 3.3 _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue11456> _______________________________________
