[issue40951] csv skipinitialspace no longer working

[Rudolfo Munguia]

New submission from Rudolfo Munguia <xaruum at gmail.com>:

This was non-obvious at first. Code had written 1 month ago making use of csv.reader to strip leading spaces is failing when I ran it today. My company had updated my installation of python from 3.6 to 3.7 a few weeks back. I have skipinitialspace=True set, but all output still contains leading spaces. I have even checked around several places on the internet where they have "example" code to demonstrate this function -> but all of their examples are now also broken (?)! and contain the leading spaces as well :: https://www.w3resource.com/python-exercises/csv/python-csv-exercise-6.php
