The few times I looked at CSV module it never looked useful to me. I
seem to use shlex for everything. For example:
def csv_split (s):
lex = shlex.shlex(s, posix=True)
lex.whitespace_split = True
lex.whitespace = ','
return list(lex)
will split on commas while honoring quoted values (and stripping out the
quotes)

I need to convert a string that is a csv line to a list and vice versa.
I thought to find functions doing this in the csv module but that doesn't
seem to be the case.
I can of course write special classes that would allow for this using
a csv.reader and csv.writer but that would be some convoluted code.
Anyone some suggestions?
