Parse a single CSV string? : <p>Is there a way that I can parse a single comma delimited string without using anything fancy like a csv.reader(..) ? I can use the <code>split(',')</code> function but that doesn't work when a valid column value contains a comma itself. The csv library has readers for parsing CSV files which correctly handle the aforementioned special case, but I can't use those because I need to parse just a single string. However if the Python CSV allows parsing a single string itself then that's news to me.</p>
