csvapi parser

CSV parser, intended for use with csvapi.

This is based on, and depends on, the Agate library.

Provided a path to a CSV, it will:

• try to guess the encoding with cchardet — encoding can be forced if needed;
• try to guess the CSV dialect (delimiter and such) by using a custom sniffing method;
• return an agate.Table object or raise an Exception.

Usage

from csv_parser import parse

table = parse('/path/to/csv')

# force the encoding
table = parse('/path/to/csv', encoding='utf-8')
