             [FILE]
Load a CSV file into a CSV reader and then drop into a Python shell.
positional arguments:


  FILE                  The CSV file to operate on. If omitted, will accept


                        input as piped data via STDIN.
optional arguments:


  -h, --help            show this help message and exit


  --dict                Load the CSV file into a DictReader.


  --agate               Load the CSV file into an agate table.


  --no-number-ellipsis  Disable the ellipsis if the max precision is exceeded.


  -y SNIFF_LIMIT, --snifflimit SNIFF_LIMIT


                        Limit CSV dialect sniffing to the specified number of


                        bytes. Specify "0" to disable sniffing entirely, or


                        "-1" to sniff the entire file.


  -I, --no-inference    Disable type inference when parsing the input. This


                        disables the reformatting of values.

Due to platform limitations, csvpy does not accept file input as piped data via STDIN.
