Add CSV and 🍌SV output formats to `asyncio ps`

[dpdani]

Feature or enhancement

Proposal:

Hello 👋

I'm in the very serious business of displaying awaited-by tasks, and the table output format is not machine-readable!
We absolutely need this feature!

$ ./python.exe -m asyncio ps 92294 --format bsv
tid🍌task id🍌task name🍌coroutine chain🍌awaiter name🍌awaiter id
4876371🍌0x101c4bdf0🍌Task-4🍌🍌🍌0x0

Has this already been discussed elsewhere?

This is a minor feature, which does not need previous discussion elsewhere

I guess we could consider adding the CSV format, but BSV is new to me. Is that a joke?

If only GitHub had a 🍌 reaction.

GitHub should solve the general problem of allowing any emojis in reactions.

I think 🍌SV should be added to the csv module. I suppose you could just pass delimiter="🍌" to the csv.reader constructor however…

The Python joke thread of 2025...

What do you mean? This is no joke, it's very serious business!

At $work we have a 🍌sv parser written in assembly (because Rust would be too slow).
But it can only parse 🍌sv (because it's more performant) and we need to parse 2^(24^2) tasks/s!
Our clients need this!

Everyone, @pablogsal and I are thrilled by the hype around asyncio ps. 🚀

That said, CSV is not future-proof enough for the greatness of asyncio ps. I propose we adopt PDF with embedded XFA, which is Fortune 500 approved and roomy enough to accommodate the worst data structure in the universe...and anything even worse that we invent tomorrow!

As the asyncio 🍌SV spec lead (yes, that's a thing now), I must clarify:

🍌SV is not just a format. It’s a lifestyle. A philosophy. A commitment to peeling back the layers of complexity in async debugging.

Next step: 🍌ML for multiline support and 🍌SON for structured async state.

Let’s keep it fruitful, folks. 🧃

Outputting LaTeX tables in all formats used with all table packages possible is mandatory.

possible is mandatory

That's the 🍌 spirit.
