Error/warn when converting JSON with nested values

[onyxfish]

See #365.

From #365:

but in2csv doesn't support nested properties for JSON, so the contents of "address" are being ignored. I've created a new ticket to trap this error, but it is not considered a bug at this moment.

I know you're the author of the library, but are you sure? convert.py advertises support for recursive flattening, and I personally remember it doing so when I used it in 2013 and early 2014.

When I built http://konklone.io/json/ in early 2014, I literally just ported that recursive flattening algorithm in csvkit from Python to JavaScript, and my converter handles nested JSON just fine.

I think csvkit was originally written to handle nested JSON, and had a regression at some point.

Hmmm, I may be wrong, I'll check back through the changelog. Thanks for letting me know!

Any update here? Very interested in this feature in in2csv (as you can probably tell from my recent tweets) :)

Hey, I'm having the same issue after using pip install. Do I have to compile the code from the repo to get the fix for this?

[jpmckinney]

Yes, try:

pip install --upgrade -e git+git://github.com/wireservice/csvkit.git@master#egg=csvkit
