csv.unix_dialect

csv — dialects

A Unix-style dialect: '\n' line endings and quotes around every field. It is registered under the name 'unix'.

Syntax

csv.writer(f, dialect='unix')

People pick it for '\n' instead of '\r\n', but it also turns on QUOTE_ALL: every field is quoted, numbers included, so the file looks noticeably different. If you only want a different line ending, pass lineterminator='\n' to the writer. For reading the difference does not matter: reader accepts both line endings.

Examples

import csv
import io
out = io.StringIO()
csv.writer(out, dialect='unix').writerow(['a', 1])
print(repr(out.getvalue()))  # → '"a","1"\n'
