Question

Is it possible to specify the delimiting character the csv module will use when writing a file?

For example, instead of ‘,’ use ‘;’ or something?

I know you can change to tab delimited by setting dialect='excel-tab, but not sure if there is an option for freely choosing the delimiter.

Thanks

I believe you can just set the delimiter:

writer = csv.writer(csvfile,delimiter=';')

There’s also an example of this in the documentation for csv.writer
