I'm not familiar with a FastCSV module in Python. Google suggests there is
a FastCsv module in Ruby.
Just in case what you are really referring to is the csv module in Python,
here's how you do it. Suppose your CSV file looks like an Excel-generated
CSV file save for the weird quote character:
import csv
class PipeQuote(csv.excel):
quotechar='|'
...
reader = csv.reader(open("somefile", "rb"), dialect=PipeQuote)
for row in reader:
print row
