Jen, 
I can't tell exactly what you mean by "deals with". If you need to
split the data, I (prolly like zillions of others) have a module to do
that. Like almost everyone else who has written one, I bet, I wrote
the module to work on the data I had rather than from an official
definition of the format.

In case it's of use to you, it's at:

ftp.visi.com/users/mdc/csvsplit.py

I bet that you could find various others at the Vaults of Parnassus:
