Reading data from csv file, I keep getting errors

Asked by mr17

I have test case and the csv file , but I keep getting erros while sst is trying to do compile(source, filename, mode, PyCF_ONLY_AST).Are there limitations on how the data in csv should be formated ? This is what my csv file looks like .

event_name^category^description^cost^recurrence^start_date^end_date^start_time^end_time^location^address^city^state^country^zipcode^sponsor^contact_name^contact_email^phone^website^test_result^required_fields

I realized that ast.literal_eval(field) is trying to evaluate each field and its not returing string all the time like I thought first . I simplyfied dtest data and seems to be working as expected.
