Summary: csv Sniffer returns bad dialect?
Initial Comment:
>>> d = csv.Sniffer().sniff('abc', ['\t', ','])
>>> csv.reader(['abc'], d)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
TypeError: bad argument type for built-in operation
If the 'delimiters' argument to sniff() is left out
then the TypeError is not raised. Not sure what's
going on here.
A few other nits:
sniff() seems to be misdocumented. It cannot return None.
What's the point of the Sniff class? Why isn't sniff()
a module level function?
The library manual does not state what the iterator
returned by reader() returns. It should state that
generates lists of strings.
