There are a few major issues with CSV files:
- Commas may pop up inside data, which means cells need to be quoted
- There are many different flavors of quoting schemes. This is very difficult to convey
- Commas themselves create a huge amount of noise when reading a CSV document
TSV uses tabs instead of commas and has none of these problems as tabs should not be in the data itself.
I think it should be possible to directly import and export the table through pandas.
