I have a lot of experience with Python and this is sincere advise without being snarky: don't try to write your own manual csv parser, use `csv` module: [https://docs.python.org/3/library/csv.html](https://docs.python.org/3/library/csv.html) (I've learnt that the hard way. Never again.) > Probably, if I knew Python, I would be able to devise a good solution for Nim. Translating Python solution I advise above to Nim, you should use `parsecsv` module: [https://nim-lang.github.io/Nim/parsecsv.html](https://nim-lang.github.io/Nim/parsecsv.html)
