Unreleased

2.0.1 - July 12, 2024

  • feat: :doc:`/scripts/csvsql` adds --min-col-len and --col-len-multiplier options.
  • feat: :doc:`/scripts/sql2csv` adds a --engine-option option.
  • feat: Add a Docker image: docker pull ghcr.io/wireservice/csvkit:latest.

2.0.0 - May 1, 2024

This is the first major release since December 27, 2016. Thank you to all :ref:`contributors<authors>`, including 44 new contributors since 1.0.0!

Want to use csvkit programmatically? Check out agate, used internally by csvkit.

BACKWARDS-INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES:

  • :doc:`/scripts/csvclean` now writes its output to standard output and its errors to standard error, instead of to basename_out.csv and basename_err.csv files. Consequently:
    • The --dry-run option is removed. The --dry-run option changed error output from the CSV format used in basename_err.csv files to a prosaic format like Line 1: Expected 2 columns, found 3 columns.
    • Summary information like No errors., 42 errors logged to basename_err.csv and 42 rows were joined/reduced to 24 rows after eliminating expected internal line breaks. is not written.
  • :doc:`/scripts/csvclean` no longer reports or fixes errors by default; it errors if no checks or fixes are enabled. Opt in to the original behavior using the --length-mismatch and --join-short-rows options. See new options below.
  • :doc:`/scripts/csvclean` no longer omits rows with errors from the output. Opt in to the original behavior using the --omit-error-rows option.
  • :doc:`/scripts/csvclean` joins short rows using a newline by default, instead of a space. Restore the original behavior using the --separator " " option.

In brief, to restore the original behavior for :doc:`/scripts/csvclean`:

csvclean --length-mismatch --omit-error-rows --join-short-rows --separator " " myfile.csv

Other changes:

  • feat: :doc:`/scripts/csvclean` adds the options:
    • --length-mismatch, to error on data rows that are shorter or longer than the header row
    • --empty-columns, to error on empty columns
    • --enable-all-checks, to enable all error reporting
    • --omit-error-rows, to omit data rows that contain errors, from standard output
    • --label LABEL, to add a "label" column to standard error
    • --header-normalize-space, to strip leading and trailing whitespace and replace sequences of whitespace characters by a single space in the header
    • --join-short-rows, to merge short rows into a single row
    • --separator SEPARATOR, to change the string with which to join short rows (default is newline)
    • --fill-short-rows, to fill short rows with the missing cells
    • --fillvalue FILLVALUE, to change the value with which to fill short rows (default is none)
  • feat: The --quoting option accepts 4 (csv.QUOTE_STRINGS) and 5 (csv.QUOTE_NOTNULL) on Python 3.12.
  • feat: :doc:`/scripts/csvformat`: The --out-quoting option accepts 4 (csv.QUOTE_STRINGS) and 5 (csv.QUOTE_NOTNULL) on Python 3.12.
  • fix: :doc:`/scripts/csvformat`: The --out-quoting option works with 2 (csv.QUOTE_NONUMERIC). Use the --locale option to set the locale of any formatted numbers.
  • fix: :doc:`/scripts/csvclean`: The --join-short-rows option no longer reports length mismatch errors that were fixed.

1.5.0 - March 28, 2024

  • feat: Add support for Zstandard files with the .zst extension, if the zstandard package is installed.
  • feat: :doc:`/scripts/csvformat` adds a --out-asv (--A) option to use the ASCII unit separator and record separator.
  • feat: :doc:`/scripts/csvsort` adds a --ignore-case (--i) option to perform case-independent sorting.

1.4.0 - February 13, 2024

  • feat: :doc:`/scripts/csvpy` adds the options:
    • --no-number-ellipsis, to disable the ellipsis (…) if max precision is exceeded, for example, when using table.print_table()
    • --sniff-limit`
    • --no-inference`
  • feat: :doc:`/scripts/csvpy` removes the --linenumbers and --zero output options, which had no effect.
  • feat: :doc:`/scripts/in2csv` adds a --reset-dimensions option to recalculate the dimensions of an XLSX file, instead of trusting the file's metadata. csvkit's dependency agate-excel 0.4.0 automatically recalculates the dimensions if the file's metadata expresses dimensions of "A1:A1" (a single cell).
  • fix: :doc:`/scripts/csvlook` only reads up to --max-rows rows instead of the entire file.
  • fix: :doc:`/scripts/csvpy` supports the existing input options:
    • --locale
    • --blanks
    • --null-value
    • --date-format
    • --datetime-format
    • --skip-lines
  • fix: :doc:`/scripts/csvpy`: --maxfieldsize no longer errors when --dict is set.
  • fix: :doc:`/scripts/csvstack`: --maxfieldsize no longer errors when --no-header-row isn't set.
  • fix: :doc:`/scripts/in2csv`: --write-sheets no longer errors when standard input is an XLS or XLSX file.
  • Update minimum agate version to 1.6.3.

1.3.0 - October 18, 2023

  • :doc:`/scripts/csvformat` adds a --skip-header (-E) option to not output a header row.
  • :doc:`/scripts/csvlook` adds a --max-precision option to set the maximum number of decimal places to display.
  • :doc:`/scripts/csvlook` adds a --no-number-ellipsis option to disable the ellipsis (…) if --max-precision is exceeded. (Requires agate 1.9.0 or greater.)
  • :doc:`/scripts/csvstat` supports the --no-inference (-I), --locale (-L), --blanks, --date-format and datetime-format options.
  • :doc:`/scripts/csvstat` reports a "Non-null values" statistic (or a nonnulls column when --csv is set).
  • :doc:`/scripts/csvstat` adds a --non-nulls option to only output counts of non-null values.
  • :doc:`/scripts/csvstat` reports a "Most decimal places" statistic (or a maxprecision column when --csv is set).
  • :doc:`/scripts/csvstat` adds a --max-precision option to only output the most decimal places.
  • :doc:`/scripts/csvstat` adds a --json option to output results as JSON text.
  • :doc:`/scripts/csvstat` adds an --indent option to indent the JSON text when --json is set.
  • :doc:`/scripts/in2csv` adds a --use-sheet-names option to use the sheet names as file names when --write-sheets is set.
  • feat: Add a --null-value option to commands with the --blanks option, to convert additional values to NULL.
  • fix: Reconfigure the encoding of standard input according to the --encoding option, which defaults to utf-8-sig. Affected users no longer need to set the PYTHONIOENCODING environment variable.
  • fix: Prompt the user if additional input is expected (i.e. if no input file or piped data is provided) in :doc:`/scripts/csvjoin`, :doc:`/scripts/csvsql` and :doc:`/scripts/csvstack`.
  • fix: No longer errors if a NUL byte occurs in an input file.
  • Add Python 3.12 support.

Improvements:

Fixes:

1.0.1 - December 29, 2016

This is a minor release which fixes several bugs reported in the 1.0.0 release earlier this week. It also significantly improves the output of :doc:`/scripts/csvstat` and adds a --csv output option to that command.

1.0.0 - December 27, 2016

This is the first major release of csvkit in a very long time. The entire backend has been rewritten to leverage the agate data analysis library, which was itself inspired by csvkit. The new backend provides better type detection accuracy, as well as some new features.

Because of the long and complex cycle behind this release, the list of changes should not be considered exhaustive. In particular, the output format of some tools may have changed in small ways. Any existing data pipelines using csvkit should be tested as part of the upgrade.

Much of the credit for this release goes to James McKinney, who has almost single-handedly kept the csvkit fire burning for a year. Thanks, James!

Backwards-incompatible changes:

  • :doc:`/scripts/csvjoin` renames duplicate columns with integer suffixes to prevent collisions in output.
  • :doc:`/scripts/csvsql` generates DateTime columns instead of Time columns.
  • :doc:`/scripts/csvsql` generates Decimal columns instead of Integer, BigInteger, and Float columns.
  • :doc:`/scripts/csvsql` no longer generates max-length constraints for text columns.
  • The --doublequote long flag is gone, and the -b short flag is an alias for --no-doublequote.
  • When using the --columns or --not-columns options, you must not have spaces around the comma-separated values, unless the column names contain spaces.
  • When sorting, null values are greater than other values instead of less than.
  • CSVKitReader, CSVKitWriter, CSVKitDictReader, and CSVKitDictWriter have been removed. Use agate.csv.reader, agate.csv.writer, agate.csv.DictReader and agate.csv.DictWriter.
  • Drop Python 2.6 support (end-of-life was October 29, 2013).
  • Drop support for older versions of PyPy.
  • If --no-header-row is set, the output has column names a, b, c, etc. instead of column1, column2, column3, etc.
  • csvlook renders a simpler, markdown-compatible table.
