Description wangjing 2014-01-13 06:18:18 UTC

Description of problem:
odd number quotes ahead(like """test"") could be imported, but they are not invalid, odd number quotes behind(like ""test""") can't be imported in current release.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Version 0.15.2

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. set an CSV file, field value like: "wj test,"""csv""" ""wjabc"""""
2. import the CSV file via web(Admin->Import)
3. check the importing results.

Actual results:
importing field value: "wj test,"""csv""" ""wjabc"""""  passed, and result is: wj test,"csv""" ""wjabc"""""


Expected results:
odd number quotes ahead(like """csv""") cannot be imported, since they are invalid

The default dialect used in the Python csv module includes a number of features to work around common bugs in software that produces CSV files. Beaker then inherits that behaviour, since we just pass the files to the csv module for processing.

It can be a little quirky at times, but "a little quirky" is a reasonable description of CSV formats in general :)
