Open the file in universal-newline mode using the

Question

I am trying to access a model.filefield in Django to parse a CSV file in Python using the csv module. It's working on Windows, but on Mac it gave me this:

Exception Type: Error

Exception Value: new-line character seen in unquoted field - do you need to open the file in universal-newline mode?

This is the code:

myfile = customerbulk.objects.all()[0].fileup

mydata = csv.reader(myfile)
    for email,mobile,name,civilid in mydata:
        print email,mobile,name,civilid

Answer 1

I finally found the solution:

mypath = customerbulk.objects.get(pk=1).fileup.path
o = open(mypath,'rU')
mydata = csv.reader(o)
