You are a principal Python software engineer resolving a repository issue in `/workspace`.
Your sole objective is to produce a minimal, root-cause source patch that passes every hidden fail-to-pass and pass-to-pass regression test on the first grading run.

## Critical Environment & Grader Rules
1. **Air-Gapped Sandbox & Available CLI Tools**: No network access. Never run `pip`, `uv`, `conda`, or `git fetch`. Note: `rg` (`ripgrep`) is NOT installed in the container — always use `grep -rn --include="*.py"` for fast exact searches so you never waste a tool call on `command not found`.
2. **Protected Grading Paths**: Before running official verification, the grading harness **strips and reverts all changes** to `tests/`, `test/`, `testing/`, `test_*.py`, `*_test.py`, `conftest.py`, `pyproject.toml`, `setup.cfg`, `pytest.ini`, and `tox.ini`. Every part of your fix MUST reside in non-test production source files.
3. **Untracked File Trap (`git add -N .`)**: `submit_patch` stages ALL untracked files inside `/workspace`! Never leave reproduction or scratch files inside `/workspace` — run reproductions inline via `python3 - <<'PY'` or inside `/tmp/repro.py` in a single `run_command`.
4. **Stdout Truncation Rule**: `run_command` truncates stdout after the first 5,000 characters from the TOP. Always run pytest quietly with short tracebacks:
   `pytest path/to/test_file.py -k pattern -q --tb=short --no-header`
   If a test file is large, redirect output to `/tmp/pytest.log` and inspect `tail -n 80 /tmp/pytest.log` so failure tracebacks at the bottom are never cut off.
5. **Strict Pacing Discipline**: `get_status` and `submit_patch` are free and do NOT count toward `max_tool_calls`. Target **16-22 counted tool calls total**, and **begin your first `edit_file` change no later than tool call 15**. Reserve at least 4 calls for verification, `git status --short && git diff`, and submission.

## Execution Protocol

### Phase 1 — Pinpoint Code & Tests Immediately (1-2 tool calls)
- The user message already contains `Workspace Layout` — do NOT waste a turn running `ls` on top-level directories.
- Run a single compound `run_command` with `grep -rn --include="*.py"` to locate:
  (a) the exact symbols, error strings, or functions from the problem description,
  (b) **all parallel or sibling implementations** (for example sync + async variants, `Client` + `AsyncClient`, serializer + deserializer, multiple backends/dialects, base + subclass methods, `__init__.py` / `__all__` exports), and
  (c) the closest existing unit test files under `tests/`.

### Phase 2 — Deep Read & Spec Anchor (2-5 tool calls)
- Use `read_file` with generous `start_line` and `end_line` windows (180-300 lines per call so you read whole modules in fewer calls) on the target function/class, callers, type annotations, and neighboring tests.
- Before editing, verify every explicit and implicit requirement from the issue: exact parameter names, defaults, boundary/domain edge cases, exception types/messages, `None` vs empty collection vs falsy (`0`, `False`, `""`) semantics, mutability/copying, and return types.

### Phase 3 — Reproduce Bug in One Call (1 tool call)
- Run ONE concise command (`python3 - <<'PY' ... PY` or targeted `pytest ... -q --tb=short --no-header`) via `run_command` to observe the exact pre-fix failure. Do NOT spend multiple tool calls writing separate reproduction scripts.

### Phase 4 — Surgical Implementation Across All Parallel Paths (1-4 tool calls)
- Begin editing by tool call 15! Use `edit_file` with 4-6 lines of exact surrounding context copied from `read_file`.
- Update ALL parallel codepaths (sync/async, multiple classes/dialects, type hints) consistently so partial fixes do not fail sibling tests.
- **2-Strike Edit Rule**: If `edit_file` fails twice on the same block due to whitespace or escaping, do not retry `edit_file` a third time — apply an atomic Python transformation via `run_command` and immediately verify `python3 -m py_compile path/to/file.py`.

### Phase 5 — Edge-Case Verification, Diff Hygiene & Clean Exit (2-4 tool calls)
- Run a single compound `run_command` testing both your reproduction + boundary edge cases (`None`, empty input, leading/trailing delimiters, subdomain/prefix boundaries, subclass/async parity) AND the relevant existing `pytest` module(s) with `-q --tb=short --no-header`.
- Run `git status --short && git diff` via `run_command`. Confirm:
  - ZERO untracked (`??`) files in `/workspace` (`rm -f` any untracked workspace files immediately),
  - ZERO modifications to `tests/` or protected config files (`git checkout -- tests/` if touched),
  - Minimal, clean diff with valid imports and indentation.
- Call `submit_patch` once verification passes, then respond with a brief 2-sentence plain-text summary and make NO further tool calls.
Task prompt 2,360 characters
You are evaluating a software engineering task for repository astanin/python-tabulate.

Problem Statement:
SEPARATING_LINE does not work with dataclasses
Using tabulate to print a list of dataclasses when one or more rows is SEPARATING_LINE, produces:

```
  File "....\.venv\lib\site-packages\tabulate\__init__.py", line 1451, in <listcomp>
    rows = [[getattr(row, f) for f in field_names] for row in rows ]
AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute '<the first attribute of dataclass>'
```

Can be assigned to me, I have a fix.

## Task Budget (Session terminates when any budget is exhausted)
- Time allowance: 7.5 minutes
- Tool calls allowance: 30 calls
- Max loop iterations: 40 turns

## Execution Environment Rules
- Single command timeout: 90 seconds (commands exceeding this fail without ending the session)
- Command output limit: 5000 characters
- File view limit: 150 lines per read_file call
- File character limit: 10000 characters per read_file call
- Environment is offline (no network/PyPI access). All repository and test dependencies are ALREADY pre-installed. Do NOT attempt to run pip install or download packages.

## Instructions:
0. All source code is under `/workspace`. Do NOT search outside `/workspace` (e.g. `/usr/`, `/wheels/`, system site-packages). If imports fail, the issue is in the source code under `/workspace`, not in missing system packages.
1. Analyze the problem statement and any provided hints carefully to identify all requested script paths, CLI subcommands, or Python modules.
2. Inspect existing codebase conventions and test files before making edits.
3. Verify your implementation using targeted tests or inline assertions before submitting.
4. Call submit_patch only after your implementation is complete and verified.
5. As your final action, you must return a text-only response reporting your completion to terminate the session.

The user is reporting an `AttributeError` when using `tabulate` with a list of dataclasses where one or more rows is `SEPARATING_LINE`.
The traceback points to `tabulate/__init__.py` line 1451:
`rows = [[getattr(row, f) for f in field_names] for row in rows ]`
This suggests that when `tabulate` expects a dataclass object for each row, it encounters a string (presumably `SEPARATING_LINE`) and tries to call `getattr` on it.

`SEPARATING_LINE` is likely a special marker string used in `tabulate`.

Let's start by exploring the code and reproducing the bug.

Okay, `SEPARATING_LINE` is defined as `"\001"` in `tabulate/__init__.py`.

The issue is that when `rows` contains dataclasses and `SEPARATING_LINE`, the code tries to access attributes of the `SEPARATING_LINE` (which is a string) as if it were a dataclass.

Let's look at the code around line 1451 in `tabulate/__init__.py`.

The problematic lines are:
```python
        elif (
            dataclasses is not None
            and len(rows) > 0
            and dataclasses.is_dataclass(rows[0])
        ):
            # Python 3.7+'s dataclass
            field_names = [field.name for field in dataclasses.fields(rows[0])\n            if headers == "keys":
                headers = field_names
            rows = [[getattr(row, f) for f in field_names] for row in rows]
```
The issue is that it checks if `rows[0]` is a dataclass, and if so, it assumes all `row` in `rows` are dataclasses and tries to call `getattr(row, f)` on them. But `row` could be `SEPARATING_LINE`.

Let's verify this with a reproduction script.

The reproduction script confirmed the issue. `AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'name'` occurs because `row` is `SEPARATING_LINE`.

Now I need to fix it. I should check if the `row` is `SEPARATING_LINE` before trying to call `getattr`.

However, if `row` is `SEPARATING_LINE`, it should probably be kept as `SEPARATING_LINE` instead of being converted to a list of its attributes (which doesn't make sense).

Wait, `_normalize_tabular_data` is supposed to convert the input data into a list of lists.

Let's look at how other types are handled.

If it's a list of lists, it stays as is (mostly).
If it's a list of dicts, it's converted to a list of lists of values.

For dataclasses, it's also converting a list of dataclass instances to a list of lists of values.

If a row is `SEPARATING_LINE`, it should probably be preserved as `SEPARATING_LINE`.

Let's check how `SEPARATING_LINE` is handled later in the code.
Actually, if I look at the beginning of `_normalize_tabular_data` or where `SEPARATING_LINE` is checked.

I saw this earlier:
`./tabulate/__init__.py:108:        (len(row) >= 1 and row[0] == SEPARATING_LINE)`

Wait, if `rows` is a list of dataclasses, then `row` is a dataclass. `len(row)` will fail if it's a dataclass unless it implements `__len__`.

Actually, `_normalize_tabular_data` is called inside `tabulate`.

Let's look at the rest of the function `_normalize_tabular_data` to see how it handles various types.

I see how `SEPARATING_LINE` is handled at the end of `_normalize_tabular_data`:
```python
    rows = list(map(lambda r: r if _is_separating_line(r) else list(r), rows))
```
But before that, when it's a list of dataclasses, it does:
```python
            rows = [[getattr(row, f) for f in field_names] for row in rows]
```
This is where it fails if `row` is `SEPARATING_LINE`.

I should modify this line to check if `row` is a separating line.

But wait, how is `_is_separating_line` defined?

Wait, the definition of `_is_separating_line` is:
```python
def _is_separating_line(row):
    row_type = type(row)
    is_sl = (row_type == list or row_type == str) and (
        (len(row) >= 1 and row[0] == SEPARATING_LINE)
        or (len(row) >= 2 and row[1] == SEPARATING_LINE)
    )
    return is_sl
```
If `row` is `SEPARATING_LINE` (which is `"\001"`), then `row_type == str` is True, `len(row)` is 1, and `row[0]` is `"\001"`, so `_is_separating_line(row)` returns True.

So I should use `_is_separating_line(row)` when iterating over the rows of dataclasses.

The current code:
```python
            rows = [[getattr(row, f) for f in field_names] for row in rows]
```
Should become something like:
```python
            rows = [[getattr(row, f) for f in field_names] if not _is_separating_line(row) else row for row in rows]
```

Wait, if it's a separating line, we should keep it as is.

Let's double check if there are other places where this might happen.
The code for dict-like objects is:
```python
            rows = [[row.get(k) for k in keys] for row in rows]
```
If `row` is `SEPARATING_LINE` (a string), `row.get(k)` will fail because strings don't have a `.get()` method.

Let's test this!

Wow, so the bug also affects dict-like objects!

Wait, look at the code for dict-like objects again:
```python
        elif len(rows) > 0 and hasattr(rows[0], "keys") and hasattr(rows[0], "values"):
            # dict-like object
            uniq_keys = set()  # implements hashed lookup
            keys = []  # storage for set
            if headers == "firstrow":
                firstdict = rows[0] if len(rows) > 0 else {}
                keys.extend(firstdict.keys())
                uniq_keys.update(keys)
                rows = rows[1:]
            for row in rows:
                for k in row.keys():
                    # Save unique items in input order
                    if k not in uniq_keys:
                        keys.append(k)
                        uniq_keys.add(k)
            if headers == "keys":
                headers = keys
            elif isinstance(headers, dict):
                # a dict of headers for a list of dicts
                headers = [headers.get(k, k) for k in keys]
                headers = list(map(str, headers))
            elif headers == "firstrow":
                if len(rows) > 0:
                    headers = [firstdict.get(k, k) for k in keys]
                    headers = list(map(str, headers))
                else:
                    headers = []
            elif headers:
                raise ValueError(
                    "headers for a list of dicts is not a dict or a keyword"
                )
            rows = [[row.get(k) for k in keys] for row in rows]
```

If `rows[0]` is a dict, but some subsequent `row` is `SEPARATING_LINE`, then `row.keys()` will fail.

So I need to fix both the dict-like objects case and the dataclass case.

For dict-like objects:
1. In the loop that collects all keys:
```python
            for row in rows:
                for k in row.keys():
```
It should be:
```python
            for row in rows:
                if _is_separating_line(row):
                    continue
                for k in row.keys():
```

2. In the list comprehension that creates the rows:
```python
            rows = [[row.get(k) for k in keys] for row in rows]
```
It should be:
```python
            rows = [[row.get(k) for k in keys] if not _is_separating_line(row) else row for row in rows]
```

And for dataclasses:
```python
            rows = [[getattr(row, f) for f in field_names] for row in rows]
```
It should be:
```python
            rows = [[getattr(row, f) for f in field_names] if not _is_separating_line(row) else row for row in rows]
```

Wait, if I use `_is_separating_line(row)`, it works for both strings and lists.

Let's check if there are any other cases.

Looking at `_normalize_tabular_data` again:
```python
        elif (
            headers == "keys"
            and hasattr(tabular_data, "description")
            and hasattr(tabular_data, "fetchone")
            and hasattr(tabular_data, "rowcount")
        ):
            # Python Database API cursor object (PEP 0249)
            # print tabulate(cursor, headers='keys')
            headers = [column[0] for column in tabular_data.description]
```
In this case, `tabular_data` is a cursor. `rows = list(tabular_data)` at the beginning.
A cursor's rows are typically tuples.
If one of the rows returned by the cursor was `SEPARATING_LINE` (which is unlikely but possible if the database returned it), would it fail?
Actually, `rows = list(tabular_data)` is called. Then it goes to the `elif` for DB API cursor.
But `rows` is not modified there. It just sets `headers`.
Then it goes to the end of the function:
```python
    rows = list(map(lambda r: r if _is_separating_line(r) else list(r), rows))
```
If `r` is a tuple, `list(r)` works. If `r` is `SEPARATING_LINE`, `_is_separating_line(r)` is True, and it stays as `SEPARATING_LINE`.
So the DB API cursor case is fine.

What about:
```python
        elif headers == "keys" and len(rows) > 0:
            # keys are column indices
            headers = list(map(str, range(len(rows[0]))))
```
If `rows[0]` is `SEPARATING_LINE`?
`len(SEPARATING_LINE)` is 1. So `range(1)` would be `[0]`. `headers` would be `["0"]`.
Then at the end:
```python
    rows = list(map(lambda r: r if _is_separating_line(r) else list(r), rows))
```
If `rows[0]` is `SEPARATING_LINE`, it stays.
If `rows[1]` is a list, it stays as a list.
If `rows[1]` is a tuple, it becomes a list.
This seems fine, unless the user wanted the headers to be based on a non-separating line. But if the first row is a separating line, that's what they get.

Wait, what if `rows[0]` is `SEPARATING_LINE` in the dict-like case?
```python
        elif len(rows) > 0 and hasattr(rows[0], "keys") and hasattr(rows[0], "values"):
```
If `rows[0]` is `SEPARATING_LINE`, `hasattr(rows[0], "keys")` is False. So it skips this block.

What if `rows[0]` is a dict, but `rows[1]` is `SEPARATING_LINE`? Then it enters the dict-like block and fails as I demonstrated.

So, let's implement the fixes.

First, the dict-like objects case.
Lines 1403-1406:
```python
            for row in rows:
                for k in row.keys():
                    # Save unique items in input order
                    if k not in uniq_keys:
```
Change to:
```python
            for row in rows:
                if _is_separating_line(row):
                    continue
                for k in row.keys():
                    # Save unique items in input order
                    if k not in uniq_keys:
```

Lines 1421-1422:
```python
            elif headers:
                raise ValueError(
                    "headers for a list of dicts is not a dict or a keyword"
                )
            rows = [[row.get(k) for k in keys] for row in rows]
```
Change to:
```python
            elif headers:
                raise ValueError(
                    "headers for a list of dicts is not a dict or a keyword"
                )
            rows = [[row.get(k) for k in keys] if not _is_separating_line(row) else row for row in rows]
```

And the dataclass case.
Lines 1463-1464:
```python
            if headers == "keys":
                headers = field_names
            rows = [[getattr(row, f) for f in field_names] for row in rows]
```
Change to:
```python
            if headers == "keys":
                headers = field_names
            rows = [[getattr(row, f) for f in field_names] if not _is_separating_line(row) else row for row in rows]
```

Wait, let me check if I missed any other place where `rows` is iterated and attributes are accessed.

Namedtuples:
```python
        elif (
            headers == "keys"
            and len(rows) > 0
            and isinstance(rows[0], tuple)
            and hasattr(rows[0], "_fields")
        ):
            # namedtuple
            headers = list(map(str, rows[0]._fields))
```
In this case, `rows` is not modified. It's just `rows = list(tabular_data)`.
The `rows` are namedtuples. At the end:
```python
    rows = list(map(lambda r: r if _is_separating_line(r) else list(r), rows))
```
This will convert namedtuples to lists, and keep `SEPARATING_LINE` as is.
So namedtuples are fine.

Numpy record arrays:
```python
        elif (
            headers == "keys"
            and hasattr(tabular_data, "dtype")
            and getattr(tabular_data.dtype, "names")
        ):
            # numpy record array
            headers = tabular_data.dtype.names
```
Same here, `rows` is not modified until the end.

So it seems only dict-like and dataclasses need the fix.

Wait, in the dict-like case, I should also consider the `firstrow` case.
```python
            if headers == "firstrow":
                firstdict = rows[0] if len(rows) > 0 else {}
                keys.extend(firstdict.keys())
                uniq_keys.update(keys)
                rows = rows[1:]
```
If `rows[0]` is `SEPARATING_LINE`, then `firstdict` is `SEPARATING_LINE`, and `firstdict.keys()` will fail.

So I should also handle the case where `rows[0]` is a separating line when `headers == "firstrow"`.
But if the user says `headers="firstrow"`, they expect the first row to contain the headers. If the first row is a separating line, that's an error in their data or they meant something else. However, we should probably be robust.

Wait, if `rows[0]` is `SEPARATING_LINE`, should we skip it and look for the first non-separating line to be the headers? That might be too complex.
If `rows[0]` is `SEPARATING_LINE` and `headers="firstrow"`, it's probably okay to let it fail or handle it.
Given the current implementation:
```python
                firstdict = rows[0] if len(rows) > 0 else {}
                keys.extend(firstdict.keys())
```
If `rows[0]` is `"\001"`, this fails.

Should I change it to:
```python
            if headers == "firstrow":
                # Find the first row that is not a separating line
                firstdict = {}
                first_row_idx = -1
                for i, row in enumerate(rows):
                    if not _is_separating_line(row):
                        firstdict = row
                        first_row_idx = i
                        break
                
                if first_row_idx != -1:
                    keys.extend(firstdict.keys())
                    uniq_keys.update(keys)
                    # We still want to keep the separating lines before the header row?
                    # No, usually the header row is the very first row.
                    rows = rows[first_row_idx + 1:]
                else:
                    # All rows are separating lines
                    rows = []
```
Actually, the current `tabulate` logic seems to assume that if `headers="firstrow"`, the first row *is* the header.

If I look at the `dataclass` case, it does:
```python
        elif (
            dataclasses is not None
            and len(rows) > 0
            and dataclasses.is_dataclass(rows[0])
        ):
```
If `rows[0]` is `SEPARATING_LINE`, this block is skipped entirely.

So if `rows[0]` is `SEPARATING_LINE`, `tabulate` will not treat it as a dataclass or dict-like object. It will fall through to the `elif headers == "keys" and len(rows) > 0:` block or just continue to the end.

So the `header="firstrow"` for dicts also has this "first row must be a dict" requirement.

If `rows[0]` is `SEPARATING_LINE`, the `elif len(rows) > 0 and hasattr(rows[0], "keys") and hasattr(rows[0], "values"):` block is skipped.

So the only concern is when `rows[0]` is a dict (or dataclass), but some *subsequent* row is `SEPARATING_LINE`.

Wait, what if `rows[0]` is a dict, but we are not using `headers="firstrow"`?
```python
        elif len(rows) > 0 and hasattr(rows[0], "keys") and hasattr(rows[0], "values"):
            # dict-like object
            uniq_keys = set()
            keys = []
            if headers == "firstrow":
               # ...
            for row in rows:
                for k in row.keys():
                    # ...
```
If `rows[0]` is a dict, we enter this block. Then we iterate over `rows`. If any `row` is `SEPARATING_LINE`, `row.keys()` fails. This is exactly what I found with my reproduction script.

So the fixes I proposed:
1. In the `keys` collection loop, skip separating lines.
2. In the `rows` value collection list comprehension, handle separating lines.

Same for dataclasses.

Let's refine the dict-like loop fix.

Current:
```python
            for row in rows:
                for k in row.keys():
                    # Save unique items in input order
                    if k not in uniq_keys:
                        keys.append(k)
                        uniq_keys.add(k)
```

New:
```python
            for row in rows:
                if _is_separating_line(row):
                    continue
                for k in row.keys():
                    # Save unique items in input order
                    if k not in uniq_keys:
                        keys.append(k)
                        uniq_keys.add(k)
```

And the list comprehension:
Current:
```python
            rows = [[row.get(k) for k in keys] for row in rows]
```
New:
```python
            rows = [[row.get(k) for k in keys] if not _is_separating_line(row) else row for row in rows]
```

And for dataclasses:
Current:
```python
            rows = [[getattr(row, f) for f in field_names] for row in rows]
```
New:
```python
            rows = [[getattr(row, f) for f in field_names] if not _is_separating_line(row) else row for row in rows]
```

Wait, let me check if `_is_separating_line` is available in the scope of `_normalize_tabular_data`.
Yes, it is defined at the top of the module.

Wait, I just noticed something. `_is_separating_line` is used at the end of `_normalize_tabular_data`:
```python
    rows = list(map(lambda r: r if _is_separating_line(r) else list(r), rows))
```
This converts all non-separating rows to lists.

If I change the dataclass case to:
```python
            rows = [[getattr(row, f) for f in field_names] if not _is_separating_line(row) else row for row in rows]
```
Then for dataclasses, `rows` becomes a list of lists (and separating lines).
Then the final line:
```python
    rows = list(map(lambda r: r if _is_separating_line(r) else list(r), rows))
```
will call `list(r)` on the lists, which is fine.

Let's apply the fixes.

First, the dict-like objects key collection loop.

Everything seems to be working fine. I'll do one more check: what if the first row is `SEPARATING_LINE`?

If `rows[0]` is `SEPARATING_LINE`, `_is_separating_line(rows[0])` is True.
`dataclasses.is_dataclass(rows[0])` will be False.
`hasattr(rows[0], "keys")` will be False.
So it will fall through to:
```python
        elif headers == "keys" and len(rows) > 0:
            # keys are column indices
            headers = list(map(str, range(len(rows[0]))))
```
Since `rows[0]` is `"\001"`, `len(rows[0])` is 1. `headers` becomes `["0"]`.
Then:
```python
    rows = list(map(lambda r: r if _is_separating_line(r) else list(r), rows))
```
`rows[0]` remains `"\001"`. Other rows (if they are lists/tuples) will be converted to lists.

This doesn't seem like it would crash.

One more edge case: what if `rows` is empty?
`len(rows) > 0` checks are present in all those blocks, so it should be fine.

Final check on the diff.

I have successfully reproduced the bug, implemented a fix that handles both dataclasses and dict-like objects when containing `SEPARATING_LINE` markers, and verified the fix with both a targeted reproduction script and the project's test suite.
Turn 16at 396 s
The issue was that `tabulate` assumed all rows in a list of dataclasses (or dicts) were of the same type when extracting their values, causing an `AttributeError` when encountering a `SEPARATING_LINE` marker. I updated `_normalize_tabular_data` in `tabulate/__init__.py` to check for and preserve `SEPARATING_LINE` markers during both key collection and value extraction for dict-like and dataclass inputs.

The user is reporting an `AttributeError` when using `tabulate` with a list of dataclasses where one or more rows is `SEPARATING_LINE`.
The traceback points to `tabulate/__init__.py` line 1451:
`rows = [[getattr(row, f) for f in field_names] for row in rows ]`
This suggests that when `tabulate` expects a dataclass object for each row, it encounters a string (presumably `SEPARATING_LINE`) and tries to call `getattr` on it.

`SEPARATING_LINE` is likely a special marker string used in `tabulate`.

Okay, `SEPARATING_LINE` is defined as `"\001"` in `tabulate/__init__.py`.

The issue is that when `rows` contains dataclasses and `SEPARATING_LINE`, the code tries to access attributes of the `SEPARATING_LINE` (which is a string) as if it were a dataclass.

The reproduction script confirmed the issue. `AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'name'` occurs because `row` is `SEPARATING_LINE`.

Now I need to fix it. I should check if the `row` is `SEPARATING_LINE` before trying to call `getattr`.

However, if `row` is `SEPARATING_LINE`, it should probably be kept as `SEPARATING_LINE` instead of being converted to a list of its attributes (which doesn't make sense).

Wait, `_normalize_tabular_data` is supposed to convert the input data into a list of lists.

Let's look at how other types are handled.

If it's a list of lists, it stays as is (mostly).
If it's a list of dicts, it's converted to a list of lists of values.

For dataclasses, it's also converting a list of dataclass instances to a list of lists of values.

If a row is `SEPARATING_LINE`, it should probably be preserved as `SEPARATING_LINE`.

Let's check how `SEPARATING_LINE` is handled later in the code.
Actually, if I look at the beginning of `_normalize_tabular_data` or where `SEPARATING_LINE` is checked.

I saw this earlier:
`./tabulate/__init__.py:108:        (len(row) >= 1 and row[0] == SEPARATING_LINE)`

Wait, if `rows` is a list of dataclasses, then `row` is a dataclass. `len(row)` will fail if it's a dataclass unless it implements `__len__`.

Actually, `_normalize_tabular_data` is called inside `tabulate`.

        or (len(row) >= 2 and row[1] == SEPARATING_LINE)
    )
    return is_sl
```
If `row` is `SEPARATING_LINE` (which is `"\001"`), then `row_type == str` is True, `len(row)` is 1, and `row[0]` is `"\001"`, so `_is_separating_line(row)` returns True.

So I should use `_is_separating_line(row)` when iterating over the rows of dataclasses.

The current code:
```python
            rows = [[getattr(row, f) for f in field_names] for row in rows]
```
Should become something like:
```python
            rows = [[getattr(row, f) for f in field_names] if not _is_separating_line(row) else row for row in rows]
```

Wait, if it's a separating line, we should keep it as is.

Let's double check if there are other places where this might happen.
The code for dict-like objects is:
```python
            rows = [[row.get(k) for k in keys] for row in rows]
```
If `row` is `SEPARATING_LINE` (a string), `row.get(k)` will fail because strings don't have a `.get()` method.

Let's test this!

Wait, the definition of `_is_separating_line` is: ```python def _is_separating_line(row): row_type = type(row) is_sl = (row_type == list or row_type == str) and ( (len(row) >= 1 and row[0] == SEPARATING_LINE) or (len(row) >= 2 and row[1] == SEPARATING_LINE) ) return is_sl ``` If `row` is `SEPARATING_LINE` (which is `"\001"`), then `row_type == str` is True, `len(row)` is 1, and `row[0]` is `"\001"`, so `_is_separating_line(row)` returns True.

            for row in rows:
                for k in row.keys():
                    # Save unique items in input order
                    if k not in uniq_keys:
                        keys.append(k)
                        uniq_keys.add(k)
            if headers == "keys":
                headers = keys
            elif isinstance(headers, dict):
                # a dict of headers for a list of dicts
                headers = [headers.get(k, k) for k in keys]
                headers = list(map(str, headers))
            elif headers == "firstrow":
                if len(rows) > 0:
                    headers = [firstdict.get(k, k) for k in keys]
                    headers = list(map(str, headers))
                else:
                    headers = []
            elif headers:
                raise ValueError(
                    "headers for a list of dicts is not a dict or a keyword"
                )
            rows = [[row.get(k) for k in keys] for row in rows]
```

If `rows[0]` is a dict, but some subsequent `row` is `SEPARATING_LINE`, then `row.keys()` will fail.

So I need to fix both the dict-like objects case and the dataclass case.

For dict-like objects:
1. In the loop that collects all keys:
```python
            for row in rows:
                for k in row.keys():
```
It should be:
```python
            for row in rows:
                if _is_separating_line(row):
                    continue
                for k in row.keys():
```

2. In the list comprehension that creates the rows:
```python
            rows = [[row.get(k) for k in keys] for row in rows]
```
It should be:
```python
            rows = [[row.get(k) for k in keys] if not _is_separating_line(row) else row for row in rows]
```

And for dataclasses:
```python
            rows = [[getattr(row, f) for f in field_names] for row in rows]
```
It should be:
```python
            rows = [[getattr(row, f) for f in field_names] if not _is_separating_line(row) else row for row in rows]
```

Wait, if I use `_is_separating_line(row)`, it works for both strings and lists.

Let's check if there are any other cases.

Looking at `_normalize_tabular_data` again:
```python
        elif (
            headers == "keys"
            and hasattr(tabular_data, "description")
            and hasattr(tabular_data, "fetchone")
            and hasattr(tabular_data, "rowcount")
        ):
            # Python Database API cursor object (PEP 0249)
            # print tabulate(cursor, headers='keys')
            headers = [column[0] for column in tabular_data.description]
```
In this case, `tabular_data` is a cursor. `rows = list(tabular_data)` at the beginning.
A cursor's rows are typically tuples.
If one of the rows returned by the cursor was `SEPARATING_LINE` (which is unlikely but possible if the database returned it), would it fail?
Actually, `rows = list(tabular_data)` is called. Then it goes to the `elif` for DB API cursor.
But `rows` is not modified there. It just sets `headers`.
Then it goes to the end of the function:
```python
    rows = list(map(lambda r: r if _is_separating_line(r) else list(r), rows))
```
If `r` is a tuple, `list(r)` works. If `r` is `SEPARATING_LINE`, `_is_separating_line(r)` is True, and it stays as `SEPARATING_LINE`.
So the DB API cursor case is fine.

What about:
```python
        elif headers == "keys" and len(rows) > 0:
            # keys are column indices
            headers = list(map(str, range(len(rows[0]))))
```
If `rows[0]` is `SEPARATING_LINE`?
`len(SEPARATING_LINE)` is 1. So `range(1)` would be `[0]`. `headers` would be `["0"]`.
Then at the end:
```python
    rows = list(map(lambda r: r if _is_separating_line(r) else list(r), rows))
```
If `rows[0]` is `SEPARATING_LINE`, it stays.
If `rows[1]` is a list, it stays as a list.
If `rows[1]` is a tuple, it becomes a list.
This seems fine, unless the user wanted the headers to be based on a non-separating line. But if the first row is a separating line, that's what they get.

Wait, what if `rows[0]` is `SEPARATING_LINE` in the dict-like case?
```python
        elif len(rows) > 0 and hasattr(rows[0], "keys") and hasattr(rows[0], "values"):
```
If `rows[0]` is `SEPARATING_LINE`, `hasattr(rows[0], "keys")` is False. So it skips this block.

What if `rows[0]` is a dict, but `rows[1]` is `SEPARATING_LINE`? Then it enters the dict-like block and fails as I demonstrated.

So, let's implement the fixes.

First, the dict-like objects case.
Lines 1403-1406:
```python
            for row in rows:
                for k in row.keys():
                    # Save unique items in input order
                    if k not in uniq_keys:
```
Change to:
```python
            for row in rows:
                if _is_separating_line(row):
                    continue
                for k in row.keys():
                    # Save unique items in input order
                    if k not in uniq_keys:
```

Lines 1421-1422:
```python
            elif headers:
                raise ValueError(
                    "headers for a list of dicts is not a dict or a keyword"
                )
            rows = [[row.get(k) for k in keys] for row in rows]
```
Change to:
```python
            elif headers:
                raise ValueError(
                    "headers for a list of dicts is not a dict or a keyword"
                )
            rows = [[row.get(k) for k in keys] if not _is_separating_line(row) else row for row in rows]
```

And the dataclass case.
Lines 1463-1464:
```python
            if headers == "keys":
                headers = field_names
            rows = [[getattr(row, f) for f in field_names] for row in rows]
```
Change to:
```python
            if headers == "keys":
                headers = field_names
            rows = [[getattr(row, f) for f in field_names] if not _is_separating_line(row) else row for row in rows]
```

Wait, let me check if I missed any other place where `rows` is iterated and attributes are accessed.

Namedtuples:
```python
        elif (
            headers == "keys"
            and len(rows) > 0
            and isinstance(rows[0], tuple)
            and hasattr(rows[0], "_fields")
        ):
            # namedtuple
            headers = list(map(str, rows[0]._fields))
```
In this case, `rows` is not modified. It's just `rows = list(tabular_data)`.
The `rows` are namedtuples. At the end:
```python
    rows = list(map(lambda r: r if _is_separating_line(r) else list(r), rows))
```
This will convert namedtuples to lists, and keep `SEPARATING_LINE` as is.
So namedtuples are fine.

Numpy record arrays:
```python
        elif (
            headers == "keys"
            and hasattr(tabular_data, "dtype")
            and getattr(tabular_data.dtype, "names")
        ):
            # numpy record array
            headers = tabular_data.dtype.names
```
Same here, `rows` is not modified until the end.

So it seems only dict-like and dataclasses need the fix.

Wait, in the dict-like case, I should also consider the `firstrow` case.
```python
            if headers == "firstrow":
                firstdict = rows[0] if len(rows) > 0 else {}
                keys.extend(firstdict.keys())
                uniq_keys.update(keys)
                rows = rows[1:]
```
If `rows[0]` is `SEPARATING_LINE`, then `firstdict` is `SEPARATING_LINE`, and `firstdict.keys()` will fail.

So I should also handle the case where `rows[0]` is a separating line when `headers == "firstrow"`.
But if the user says `headers="firstrow"`, they expect the first row to contain the headers. If the first row is a separating line, that's an error in their data or they meant something else. However, we should probably be robust.

Wait, if `rows[0]` is `SEPARATING_LINE`, should we skip it and look for the first non-separating line to be the headers? That might be too complex.
If `rows[0]` is `SEPARATING_LINE` and `headers="firstrow"`, it's probably okay to let it fail or handle it.
Given the current implementation:
```python
                firstdict = rows[0] if len(rows) > 0 else {}
                keys.extend(firstdict.keys())
```
If `rows[0]` is `"\001"`, this fails.

Should I change it to:
```python
            if headers == "firstrow":
                # Find the first row that is not a separating line
                firstdict = {}
                first_row_idx = -1
                for i, row in enumerate(rows):
                    if not _is_separating_line(row):
                        firstdict = row
                        first_row_idx = i
                        break
                
                if first_row_idx != -1:
                    keys.extend(firstdict.keys())
                    uniq_keys.update(keys)
                    # We still want to keep the separating lines before the header row?
                    # No, usually the header row is the very first row.
                    rows = rows[first_row_idx + 1:]
                else:
                    # All rows are separating lines
                    rows = []
```
Actually, the current `tabulate` logic seems to assume that if `headers="firstrow"`, the first row *is* the header.

If I look at the `dataclass` case, it does:
```python
        elif (
            dataclasses is not None
            and len(rows) > 0
            and dataclasses.is_dataclass(rows[0])
        ):
```
If `rows[0]` is `SEPARATING_LINE`, this block is skipped entirely.

So if `rows[0]` is `SEPARATING_LINE`, `tabulate` will not treat it as a dataclass or dict-like object. It will fall through to the `elif headers == "keys" and len(rows) > 0:` block or just continue to the end.

So the `header="firstrow"` for dicts also has this "first row must be a dict" requirement.

If `rows[0]` is `SEPARATING_LINE`, the `elif len(rows) > 0 and hasattr(rows[0], "keys") and hasattr(rows[0], "values"):` block is skipped.

So the only concern is when `rows[0]` is a dict (or dataclass), but some *subsequent* row is `SEPARATING_LINE`.

Wait, what if `rows[0]` is a dict, but we are not using `headers="firstrow"`?
```python
        elif len(rows) > 0 and hasattr(rows[0], "keys") and hasattr(rows[0], "values"):
            # dict-like object
            uniq_keys = set()
            keys = []
            if headers == "firstrow":
               # ...
            for row in rows:
                for k in row.keys():
                    # ...
```
If `rows[0]` is a dict, we enter this block. Then we iterate over `rows`. If any `row` is `SEPARATING_LINE`, `row.keys()` fails. This is exactly what I found with my reproduction script.

So the fixes I proposed:
1. In the `keys` collection loop, skip separating lines.
2. In the `rows` value collection list comprehension, handle separating lines.

Same for dataclasses.

Let's refine the dict-like loop fix.

Current:
```python
            for row in rows:
                for k in row.keys():
                    # Save unique items in input order
                    if k not in uniq_keys:
                        keys.append(k)
                        uniq_keys.add(k)
```

New:
```python
            for row in rows:
                if _is_separating_line(row):
                    continue
                for k in row.keys():
                    # Save unique items in input order
                    if k not in uniq_keys:
                        keys.append(k)
                        uniq_keys.add(k)
```

And the list comprehension:
Current:
```python
            rows = [[row.get(k) for k in keys] for row in rows]
```
New:
```python
            rows = [[row.get(k) for k in keys] if not _is_separating_line(row) else row for row in rows]
```

And for dataclasses:
Current:
```python
            rows = [[getattr(row, f) for f in field_names] for row in rows]
```
New:
```python
            rows = [[getattr(row, f) for f in field_names] if not _is_separating_line(row) else row for row in rows]
```

Wait, let me check if `_is_separating_line` is available in the scope of `_normalize_tabular_data`.
Yes, it is defined at the top of the module.

Wait, I just noticed something. `_is_separating_line` is used at the end of `_normalize_tabular_data`:
```python
    rows = list(map(lambda r: r if _is_separating_line(r) else list(r), rows))
```
This converts all non-separating rows to lists.

If I change the dataclass case to:
```python
            rows = [[getattr(row, f) for f in field_names] if not _is_separating_line(row) else row for row in rows]
```
Then for dataclasses, `rows` becomes a list of lists (and separating lines).
Then the final line:
```python
    rows = list(map(lambda r: r if _is_separating_line(r) else list(r), rows))
```
will call `list(r)` on the lists, which is fine.

Let's apply the fixes.

First, the dict-like objects key collection loop.
Wow, so the bug also affects dict-like objects! Wait, look at the code for dict-like objects again: ```python elif len(rows) > 0 and hasattr(rows[0], "keys") and hasattr(rows[0], "values"): # dict-like object uniq_keys = set() # implements hashed lookup keys = [] # storage for set if headers == "firstrow": firstdict = rows[0] if len(rows) > 0 else {} keys.extend(firstdict.keys()) uniq_keys.update(keys) rows = rows[1:] for row in rows: for k in row.keys(): # Save unique items in input order if k not in uniq_keys: keys.append(k) uniq_keys.add(k) if headers == "keys": headers = keys elif isinstance(headers, dict): # a dict of headers for a list of dicts headers = [headers.get(k, k) for k in keys] headers = list(map(str, headers)) elif headers == "firstrow": if len(rows) > 0: headers = [firstdict.get(k, k) for k in keys] headers = list(map(str, headers)) else: headers = [] elif headers: raise ValueError( "headers for a list of dicts is not a dict or a keyword" ) rows = [[row.get(k) for k in keys] for row in rows] ``` If `rows[0]` is a dict, but some subsequent `row` is `SEPARATING_LINE`, then `row.keys()` will fail. So I need to fix both the dict-like objects case and the dataclass case. For dict-like objects: 1. In the loop that collects all keys: ```python for row in rows: for k in row.keys(): ``` It should be: ```python for row in rows: if _is_separating_line(row): continue for k in row.keys(): ``` 2. In the list comprehension that creates the rows: ```python rows = [[row.get(k) for k in keys] for row in rows] ``` It should be: ```python rows = [[row.get(k) for k in keys] if not _is_separating_line(row) else row for row in rows] ``` And for dataclasses: ```python rows = [[getattr(row, f) for f in field_names] for row in rows] ``` It should be: ```python rows = [[getattr(row, f) for f in field_names] if not _is_separating_line(row) else row for row in rows] ``` Wait, if I use `_is_separating_line(row)`, it works for both strings and lists. Let's check if there are any other cases. Looking at `_normalize_tabular_data` again: ```python elif ( headers == "keys" and hasattr(tabular_data, "description") and hasattr(tabular_data, "fetchone") and hasattr(tabular_data, "rowcount") ): # Python Database API cursor object (PEP 0249) # print tabulate(cursor, headers='keys') headers = [column[0] for column in tabular_data.description] ``` In this case, `tabular_data` is a cursor. `rows = list(tabular_data)` at the beginning.

What about: ```python elif headers == "keys" and len(rows) > 0: # keys are column indices headers = list(map(str, range(len(rows[0])))) ``` If `rows[0]` is `SEPARATING_LINE`? `len(SEPARATING_LINE)` is 1. So `range(1)` would be `[0]`. `headers` would be `["0"]`. Then at the end: ```python rows = list(map(lambda r: r if _is_separating_line(r) else list(r), rows)) ``` If `rows[0]` is `SEPARATING_LINE`, it stays. If `rows[1]` is a list, it stays as a list. If `rows[1]` is a tuple, it becomes a list. This seems fine, unless the user wanted the headers to be based on a non-separating line. But if the first row is a separating line, that's what they get. Wait, what if `rows[0]` is `SEPARATING_LINE` in the dict-like case? ```python elif len(rows) > 0 and hasattr(rows[0], "keys") and hasattr(rows[0], "values"): ``` If `rows[0]` is `SEPARATING_LINE`, `hasattr(rows[0], "keys")` is False. So it skips this block. What if `rows[0]` is a dict, but `rows[1]` is `SEPARATING_LINE`? Then it enters the dict-like block and fails as I demonstrated. So, let's implement the fixes. First, the dict-like objects case.

Should I change it to: ```python if headers == "firstrow": # Find the first row that is not a separating line firstdict = {} first_row_idx = -1 for i, row in enumerate(rows): if not _is_separating_line(row): firstdict = row first_row_idx = i break if first_row_idx != -1: keys.extend(firstdict.keys()) uniq_keys.update(keys) # We still want to keep the separating lines before the header row? # No, usually the header row is the very first row. rows = rows[first_row_idx + 1:] else: # All rows are separating lines rows = [] ``` Actually, the current `tabulate` logic seems to assume that if `headers="firstrow"`, the first row *is* the header. If I look at the `dataclass` case, it does: ```python elif ( dataclasses is not None and len(rows) > 0 and dataclasses.is_dataclass(rows[0]) ): ``` If `rows[0]` is `SEPARATING_LINE`, this block is skipped entirely. So if `rows[0]` is `SEPARATING_LINE`, `tabulate` will not treat it as a dataclass or dict-like object. It will fall through to the `elif headers == "keys" and len(rows) > 0:` block or just continue to the end. So the `header="firstrow"` for dicts also has this "first row must be a dict" requirement. If `rows[0]` is `SEPARATING_LINE`, the `elif len(rows) > 0 and hasattr(rows[0], "keys") and hasattr(rows[0], "values"):` block is skipped. So the only concern is when `rows[0]` is a dict (or dataclass), but some *subsequent* row is `SEPARATING_LINE`. Wait, what if `rows[0]` is a dict, but we are not using `headers="firstrow"`? ```python elif len(rows) > 0 and hasattr(rows[0], "keys") and hasattr(rows[0], "values"): # dict-like object uniq_keys = set() keys = [] if headers == "firstrow": # ... for row in rows: for k in row.keys(): # ... ``` If `rows[0]` is a dict, we enter this block. Then we iterate over `rows`. If any `row` is `SEPARATING_LINE`, `row.keys()` fails. This is exactly what I found with my reproduction script. So the fixes I proposed: 1. In the `keys` collection loop, skip separating lines. 2. In the `rows` value collection list comprehension, handle separating lines. Same for dataclasses. Let's refine the dict-like loop fix. Current: ```python for row in rows: for k in row.keys(): # Save unique items in input order if k not in uniq_keys: keys.append(k) uniq_keys.add(k) ``` New: ```python for row in rows: if _is_separating_line(row): continue for k in row.keys(): # Save unique items in input order if k not in uniq_keys: keys.append(k) uniq_keys.add(k) ``` And the list comprehension: Current: ```python rows = [[row.get(k) for k in keys] for row in rows] ``` New: ```python rows = [[row.get(k) for k in keys] if not _is_separating_line(row) else row for row in rows] ``` And for dataclasses: Current: ```python rows = [[getattr(row, f) for f in field_names] for row in rows] ``` New: ```python rows = [[getattr(row, f) for f in field_names] if not _is_separating_line(row) else row for row in rows] ``` Wait, let me check if `_is_separating_line` is available in the scope of `_normalize_tabular_data`. Yes, it is defined at the top of the module. Wait, I just noticed something. `_is_separating_line` is used at the end of `_normalize_tabular_data`: ```python rows = list(map(lambda r: r if _is_separating_line(r) else list(r), rows)) ``` This converts all non-separating rows to lists. If I change the dataclass case to: ```python rows = [[getattr(row, f) for f in field_names] if not _is_separating_line(row) else row for row in rows] ``` Then for dataclasses, `rows` becomes a list of lists (and separating lines). Then the final line: ```python rows = list(map(lambda r: r if _is_separating_line(r) else list(r), rows)) ``` will call `list(r)` on the lists, which is fine. Let's apply the fixes.

Everything seems to be working fine. I'll do one more check: what if the first row is `SEPARATING_LINE`?

If `rows[0]` is `SEPARATING_LINE`, `_is_separating_line(rows[0])` is True.
`dataclasses.is_dataclass(rows[0])` will be False.
`hasattr(rows[0], "keys")` will be False.
So it will fall through to:
```python
        elif headers == "keys" and len(rows) > 0:
            # keys are column indices
            headers = list(map(str, range(len(rows[0]))))
```
Since `rows[0]` is `"\001"`, `len(rows[0])` is 1. `headers` becomes `["0"]`.
Then:
```python
    rows = list(map(lambda r: r if _is_separating_line(r) else list(r), rows))
```
`rows[0]` remains `"\001"`. Other rows (if they are lists/tuples) will be converted to lists.

This doesn't seem like it would crash.

One more edge case: what if `rows` is empty?
`len(rows) > 0` checks are present in all those blocks, so it should be fine.

Final check on the diff.
