             [FILE]
Load a CSV file into a CSV reader and then drop into a Python shell.
positional arguments:
  FILE                  The CSV file to operate on. If omitted, will accept
                        input as piped data via STDIN.
optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --dict                Load the CSV file into a DictReader.
  --agate               Load the CSV file into an agate table.
  --no-number-ellipsis  Disable the ellipsis if the max precision is exceeded.
  -y SNIFF_LIMIT, --snifflimit SNIFF_LIMIT
                        Limit CSV dialect sniffing to the specified number of
                        bytes. Specify "0" to disable sniffing entirely, or
                        "-1" to sniff the entire file.
  -I, --no-inference    Disable type inference when parsing the input. This
                        disables the reformatting of values.

Due to platform limitations, csvpy does not accept file input as piped data via STDIN.
