There should be cvs package in the python directory. Why don't you try that

Reading some help gives more details of its use.

I guess you should use re module ... In this case  re.split(\D,\D,
YOUR_STRING)  should work. (splits only when , is between two
non-digits).

for details and more options see python-docs.

cheers,
amit.

This works assuming all line elements are quoted.

This would fail if (and this too my knowledge is proper CSV):

Col 1 data 2,000, Col 2 data 3000, Col 3 data 4,000

Since the second element doesn't have a comma, it doesn't have to be  
quoted.

It's probably best to use the built in CSV parser assuming your data  
conforms to
the basic rules of CSV files.
