When writing scientific notation to CSV with custom line-terminators, the behaviour is inconsistent depending on the line-terminator you use. In the file provided, two different line-terminator result in one quoting the number as a string and the other not. IMO the second example is correct, but I don't understand why the behaviours should be any different.

It is quoting the values when line terminator contains any of the special characters. Exactly like documented. https://docs.python.org/3/library/csv.html#csv.QUOTE_MINIMAL

That doesn't make sense to me. Can you explain how that is intended behaviour? I just changed from '-' to '?' in the lineterminator.

Second time around does the charm. I see the hidden "-" in the scientific notation is causing this. Thanks!
