Package: python2.6 Version: 2.6.5-1ubuntu6 Severity: normal
The implementation of the python csv.reader means that it cannot be used as a realtime filter as it wants to read all of the input before it returns any records. :( I had intended to use it to translate asterisk CDR records to a different format in a pipeline fed by 'tail -f cdrfile.csv' import csv import sys print 'enter some lines of CSV data' csvin = csv.reader(sys.stdin,lineterminator='\n') for row in csvin: print '<SEPARATOR>'.join(row) print '<SEPARATOR>'.join(row) I guess my only option is perl <shudder>, or messing around with internal pipes import csv,sys,os input=sys.stdin.readline() while input != "" : xin,xout=os.pipe() os.write(xout,input) fxin=os.fdopen(xin) csvin=csv.reader(fxin,lineterminator='\n') os.close(xout) for row in csvin: print '<SEPARATOR>'.join(row) fxin.close input=sys.stdin.readline() # but this only works with single-line csv records :( -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers lucid-updates APT policy: (500, 'lucid-updates'), (500, 'lucid-security'), (500, 'lucid') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-22-generic (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_NZ.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_NZ.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages python2.6 depends on: ii libbz2-1.0 1.0.5-4 high-quality block-sorting file co ii libc6 2.11.1-0ubuntu7.1 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libdb4.8 4.8.24-1ubuntu1 Berkeley v4.8 Database Libraries [ ii libncursesw5 5.7+20090803-2ubuntu3 shared libraries for terminal hand ii libreadline6 6.1-1 GNU readline and history libraries ii libsqlite3-0 3.6.22-1 SQLite 3 shared library ii mime-support 3.48-1ubuntu1 MIME files 'mime.types' & 'mailcap ii python2.6-minimal 2.6.5-1ubuntu6 A minimal subset of the Python lan python2.6 recommends no packages.
