Writing a small parser for your needs shouldn't be that hard.
To some extent you can use regular expressions:
>>> re.findall(re.compile("\".*?\""), s)
['" c1\' d1 \' c2"']
>>> re.findall(re.compile("\'.*?\'"), s)
['\' b1 " c1\'', '\' c2" b2 \'']
>>>
but it won't work in all cases. You can read more here:
