JSON quoted comma not ignored

[codeFarmerJ]

Issue Summary

I'm using a python script to send emails. It mostly works. Comma embedded in quotes are causing the submission to fail.

Steps to Reproduce

The input is a CSV file.

"Joe User",addr1@example.com,54321
"User, Joe",addr2@example.com,55555
The second line fails.

Python correctly parses the line and formats it as JSON, but it fails on submission. Apparently the quotes on name field are ignored and sees the embedded comma as a delimiter. It then uses User as the name and Joe as the email address and fails.

Is this a known bug? Is there a work-around?

Technical details:

• sendgrid-python 5.3.0
• Python Version: 2.7.3

Hello @codeFarmerJ,

Yes, this is a known bug at the API level and a workaround has not been added to this SDK yet. However, we do have a workaround implemented in our PHP SDK that should help.

I'll leave this issue open so that we can get that patch implemented here also.

Thanks!

With Best Regards,

Elmer
