Works anyway. Thanks.

Best way is to try it out :-)
If you've set it to tab-delimited, then commas are surely not an issue.
If you've created a csv with stringified tuples, the tuple entries look
like
...,"(1,2,3)",
and so the csv module, using a comma delimiter, is not confused by the
"tuple" commas.

The built-in csv module is good for this. You can specify the
delimiter (ie: tabs instead of commas) and it handles a bunch of edge
cases (like quoted values containing the delimiter) that makes it a
better solution than string.split('\t').

I think the csv module can do this. (Despite its name it can handle any
delimiter you give it.)
