The csv module handles comma-separated values following RFC 4180: quoted fields, embedded commas, newlines in quoted fields, and escaped quotes (doubled).
from csv import parse_records, write_records
let text = "name,age\nAlice,30\nBob,25"
let records = parse_records(text)
print(records[0]["name"]) # Alice
let output = write_records(records, ["name", "age"])
