The CSV format covers that eventuality: You put quotes around the
item with the comma.
And if there are already quotes?
And if there are newlines inside one of the fields?

Its all covered in the CSV spec.

Which is why you should use the csv module to work with csv files,
it knows how to deal with these various exceptional cases.
