Remove extra new lines from the converted file

[dpalharini]

After a file has been converted, a new line is add after every line of content.

This behavior makes annoying the CSV usability without removing the additional lines.

Thank's in advance.

Did you find a fix for this? I am having this issue as well
+++++
EDIT 3 hours later, back with a fix. From my research, it looks like an issue dealing with how the DBF file is read, and then how the csv writer saves the file.

I went into the code, and under the __convert function, I added "lineterminator='\n'," to the csv.Dictwriter for output_writer.

Then, when running the code, I had to add -q all argument so that it didn't get messed up

No more double lines for me.

So my output_writer part of the function looks like this now:

  output_writer = csv.DictWriter(output_file,
                                   quoting=args.quoting,
                                   escapechar=args.escape_char,
                                   delimiter=args.delimiter_char,
				   lineterminator='\n',
                                   fieldnames=[encode_decode(x) for x in input_reader.field_names])

Hope this helps someone else out.
