string "\x00" has a length of 1. When I use the csv module to write that to a filecsv_f = csv.writer(file("test.csv","wb"),delimiter="|") csv_f.writerow(["\x00","zz"]) The output file looks like this: |zz Is it possible to force the writer to write that string?
It can write "\x01" but not "\x00", and "\x00ABC" doesn't write anything either. The csv module imports from _csv, which suggests to me that there's code written in C which thinks that the "\x00" is a NUL terminator, so it's a bug, although it's very unusual to want to write characters like "\x00" to a CSV file, and I wouldn't be surprised if this is the first time it's been noticed! :-) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
