python opens text file with a space between every character

Question

Whenever I try to open a .csv file with the python command fread = open(\'input.csv\', \'r\') it always opens the file with spaces between every single character.

Answer 1

It did never ocurred to me, but as truppo said, it must be something wrong with the file.

Try to open the file in Excel/BrOffice Calc and Save As the file as Csv again.

If the problem persists, try a subset of the data: fist 10/last 10/intermediate 10 lines of the file.
