    <p>The default delimiter in the Python <code>csv</code> module for reading CSV files with <code>csv.reader</code> is comma, so if your CSV file is saved with <code>delimiter=','</code>, it should also be read in properly by default, unless you explicitly specify a wrong delimiter value.</p> <p>CSV file content:</p> <pre><code>foo,bar,baz hello world,again,and again </code></pre> <p>code:</p> <pre><code>&gt;&gt;&gt; list(csv.reader(open('test.csv', 'rb'))) [['foo', 'bar', 'baz'], ['hello world', 'again', 'and again']] </code></pre> <p>as you can see, the spaces in <code>hello world</code> and <code>and again</code> are parsed properly (i.e. ignored).</p> <p>To understand why your code is not working as you want it to work, you'd have to show us more of (the relevant parts of) your code.</p> <p><strong>UPDATE:</strong></p> <p>Based on your edit, it looks like you're using your own code to parse the CSV file—<strong>DON'T DO THAT</strong> (especially if you're just a beginner in programming/Python). Use the built-in <code>csv</code> module.</p> <pre><code>with open('test.csv', 'rb') as f: reader = csv.reader(f, delimiter=',') for row in reader: ... # or just rows = list(reader) </code></pre> <p>Furthermore, your CSV parsing code is extremely inefficient, and probably (or, well, apparently) buggy; but I didn't really go through it to try to find the bug because you can do it yourself (for learning purposes—for real code, use <code>csv.reader</code>).</p> <p>A simple example of a more efficient CSV parsing code would be:</p> <pre><code>with open(filename, 'rb') as f: rows = [line.split(',') for line in f] </code></pre> <p>...but this doesn't take into account quoting; implementing quoting support would not be as trivial and would probably invole using regular expressions or parsing code.</p>

    1. COSo I have that as my output in the shell, but not into my CSV file. and my delimeter is kept as ',' in the code above so not sure where I've gone wrong!

    3. COThanks Erik. That really made my parsing code look much better. But the initial problem is still there, i.e. delimiting by the whitespace in strings and not by the comma in the list.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
