Python Parse CSV Correctly

Question

I am very new to Python. I want to parse a csv file such that it will recognize quoted values - for example

1997,Ford,E350,\"Super, luxurious truck\"

Answer 1

You have to define the doublequote as the quotechar whithin the csv.reader() statement:

>>> with open(r'') as csv_file:
...     reader = csv.reader(csv_file, delimiter=',', quotechar='"')
...     print(reader.next())
... 
['1997', 'Ford', 'E350', 'Super, luxurious truck']
>>>
