Using pyparsing's commaSeparatedList (designed specifically to handle this
case):
from pyparsing import commaSeparatedList
testdata = ',,,,,,23,,,asd,,,,,"name,surname",,,,,,,\n'
print commaSeparatedList.parseString( testdata )
Gives:
['', '', '', '', '', '', '23', '', '', 'asd', '', '', '', '',
'"name,surname"', '', '', '', '', '', '', '']
Download pyparsing at http://pyparsing.sourceforge.net.
