my .csv file could have numbers or quoted strings between the commas. this seems to be the same syntax as that found in a Python literal for a list. so what if i read in a line, .strip() it, prepend '[' to the front, append ']' to the end, and run that through exec() and verify that what is returned is a single simple list with just numbers and strings in it?
