After using import_from_csv_file(), additional quotes are showing up in the 
db.

Should I be using some different quoting in export_to_csv_file() or is this 
an inherent problem with specifying filter_out in in the model, or am I 
completely off the mark?

Exporting db = 2.4.6
Importing db = 2.5.1

Table definition
db.define_table('evaluation',
    Field('form', type='text',
          label=T('Evaluation form')),
    Field('results', type='text',
          label=T('JSON results')),
    auth.signature,
    format='%(form)s',
    migrate=settings.migrate)

db.evaluation.results.filter_in = lambda obj, dumps=dumps: dumps(obj)
db.evaluation.results.filter_out = lambda txt, loads=loads: loads(txt)

Export
db.export_to_csv_file(open('test.csv', 'w'))

(Excerpt from test.csv)
89,se2,"{u'name': u'Good User', u'answers': {u'q1': u'5', u'comment1': 
u""This answer should've had an apostrophe.""}, u'email': u'[email protected]'}"
,<auth fields>

Import
db.import_from_csv_file(open('test.csv', 'r'))

MySQL row.results from within current application on original and new db
{"name": "Good User", "answers": {"q1": "5", "comment1": "This answer 
should've had an apostrophe."}, "email": "[email protected]"}

MySQL row.results from import on new db (note the new enclosing double 
quotes)
"{u'name': u'Good User', u'answers': {u'q1': u'5', u'comment1': u\"This 
answer should've had an apostrophe.\"}, u'email': u'[email protected]'}"

This all leads to the following error:

evaluation.results['name']),
TypeError: string indices must be integers
