The OP mentioned "csv.reader".  This indicates to me that he *has* read
the csv docs (have you?), and is *already* using the csv module. The
tasks he says he does often are *not* covered by the standard library.
He appears to be asking if there is a higher-level wrapper around the
standard library.

Please consider reading his question carefully.
