[Csv] PEP 305

I may be misremembering, but I believe it tells the parser that the quote
character is doubled when embedded inside a field.  If that's false, the the
escapechar field of the dialect must be set to a single-character string.

Hmmm...  Maybe try this:

    class screener_dialect(csv.excel):
        quotechar = '"'
        delimiter = '.'
        doublequote = False
        escapechar = '"'

Weird, but it might also work.
