[New-bugs-announce] [issue27302] csv.Sniffer guesses wrong when unquoted fields contain quotes

[Redoute]

New submission from Redoute:

When delimited text fields are not quoted, but embedded text contains some quoted words, sniff() will guess the wrong delimiter. The attached script contains a simple tab-delimited text where sniff() detects space as delimiter.
