Take a look at the test cases for the csv module. I'm fairly sure all the inputs for the tests are actually embedded strings. Basically, just initialize a StringIO object with your string and pass it to the csv.reader() call. Here's a quick example from the REPL (Python 3.7): >>> raw = "a,b,c\r\n1,2,3\r\nhowdy,neighbor!\n" >>> raw 'a,b,c\r\n1,2,3\r\nhowdy,neighbor!\n' >>> import io >>> inp = io.StringIO(raw) >>> import csv >>> for row in csv.reader(inp): ... print(row) ... ['a', 'b', 'c'] ['1', '2', '3'] ['howdy', 'neighbor!'] Skip -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
