Double spaces are created when writing file with empty enclosure. about csv HOT 5 CLOSED

Could you elaborate with a gist containing your full code because I'm failing at trying to reproduce the bug

from csv.

here it is: https://gist.github.com/stevenmusumeche/605a1b1c7a1819ac1710

Okay understood... this is not a bug per se from the library. This is in CSV implementation.
You are using the [space] as the enclosure but according the CSV RFC if the enclosure is found in the CSV content to remove any ambiguity it is double.

If double-quotes are used to enclose fields, then a double-quote appearing inside a field must be escaped by preceding it with another double quote.

This explain the result of having double space.

Hope this will help

Using the space as a workaround was what was suggested for tab delimited files with no enclosure. I would like to use no enclosure but that is not possible without throwing an Exception.

@stevenmusumeche I had to deal with this issue as well. My workaround was to set the enclosure to \x1f
