Description
Type mismatch in the current parser CSV.py. At the moment it separates by a ; and not by a , line 56 should be:
- cells = line.split(',')
While writing this bug page I recognized a change in wikiname behaviour which couldn't be right MoinMoinBugs/CSVParserBug
This is not a bug but a design. Wiki name should be: MoinMoinBugs/CsvParserBug. We can make it work as you used, but it has also bad effects.
- I won't get the next trouble by a fast decision. Is there a list of names to show the effects?
By this I got a new page ParserBug
I am sorry I don't know where to put this bug description, remove it here if you know a better place.

Discussion
See SyntaxReference, it seems to work there. Are you sure its a bug?
You are right it works. I have looked in the old syntax it was always a ;. I was looking in this routine to see how a parser works.
The name CSV is used in my business for Comma Separated Values. At wikipedia it is also known as Character Separated Values. This is a more flexible definition. So the best would be the user could choose by what character the line should be separated in columns. It's no bug it's a feature request.
This should be soon updated to use python 2.3 csv module to support arbitary csv styles. But moin 1.3 is aimed at a py 2.2 version, so this is not possible now (it would but the new feature would only work with 2.3). -- OliverGraf 2004-11-09 07:09:46
