Is there some directive I can give CVS reader to tell it to stop

OK, I think I reproduced my problem at the REPL:
>>> import csv
>>> s = '"Please preserve my doublequotes"\ttext1\ttext2'
>>> reader = csv.reader([s], delimiter='\t')
>>> for row in reader:
... print(row[0])

Please preserve my doublequotes

:(
How do I instruct the reader to preserve my doublequotes?
As an aside. split() performs the job correctly...
>>> allVals = s.split("\t")
>>> print(allVals[0])
"Please preserve my doublequotes"
>>>
>>> import csv
>>> s = '"Please preserve my doublequotes"\ttext1\ttext2'
>>> reader = csv.reader([s], delimiter='\t', quotechar=None)
>>> for row in reader:
... print(row[0])
...
"Please preserve my doublequotes"
>>>
