parsing csv files class

[alex goretoy]

I know it's messy with all those self.soc.* functions, but it works in one
of my current project. I just want to make it more pythonic I also want to
add capability for makeing csv file if I give it input like:
1234,something nice, hey this is something nice
2468,something else, something else
