eval is a no-op in this case. If you "eval abc.csv=def.csv", you will just get "abc.csv=def.csv". So far, so good. So yes you can eval that. But then you need to execute the command "abc.csv=def.csv". "abc=def" would have worked because abc is a valid name for a variable. But abc.csv is not a variable name. So the shell tries to find a command called "abc.csv=def.csv". If it had found such a command, it would run it. But you don't have a command by that name. What did expect to do with this statement?

According to the POSIX specifications eval is a special shell built-in, which should imply that variable assignments specified together with it should remain in effect after the built-in completes. Thus one would expect IFS to be changed after this:

processcsv.py
PROCESSCSV.PY(1) Virtualization Support PROCESSCSV.PY(1)
NAME
processcsv.py - process virt-top CSV files
SUMMARY
virt-top --csv data.csv
processcsv.py < data.csv
DESCRIPTION
virt-top is a top(1)-like utility for showing stats of virtualized domains.
processcsv.py is a simple Python script that post-processes the output of "virt-top --csv".
It is used like this:
virt-top --csv data.csv
processcsv.py < data.csv
The second command will overwrite the following files in the current directory:
"global.csv"
This contains the global (host) statistics columns from the CSV file.
"domainNN.csv" (multiple files)
For each libvirt domain ID NN, a file is created containing the per-domain statistics from the CSV file.
