can you post minimal example that reproduce your problem as well as the input file you work with

Hi Buran,
this code is a part of my project.
and the csv file I am reading it from rest api which contains NULL Byte.

def getCSV(csv_file):
    
    stream = io.StringIO(csv_file.stream.read().decode('utf-8'),  newline=None)
    reader = csv.DictReader(stream)

    list_of_entity = []
    line_no, prev_len = 1, 0,
    for line in reader:
.......

cant share the csv as it has confidential data.

thank you for understanding.

at the moment I cannot suggest anything helpful. maybe someone else could help more
