Possibly, but I am having a hard time letting it know that it should 
leave each and every char alone, ignore quoting and just handle strings 
as strings. I tried playing with the quoting related parameters, to no 
avail:

Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "./myscript.py", line 47, in <module>
     myReader = csv.reader(csvfile, delimiter='\t',quotechar='')
TypeError: quotechar must be set if quoting enabled

I tried adding CVS.QUOTE_NONE, but things get messy :(

Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "./myscript.py", line 64, in <module>
     sys.stdout.write("\t"+row[h])
IndexError: list index out of range

Sorry for being a pain, but I am porting from Perl and  split 
/\t/,$line; was doing the job for me. Maybe I should go back to split on 
'\t' for python too...
