There is some low level stuff you can let csv module to handle. For example, if there is a file with one row: "AAPL", 113.02 then we can leave handling of "" and conversion to csv module:

import csv


with open('aapl.csv', 'r') as f:
    reader = csv.reader(f, quoting=csv.QUOTE_NONNUMERIC)
    print(*reader)

# -> ['AAPL', 113.02]


with open('aapl.csv', 'r') as f:
    data = [item for row in f for item in row.strip().split(', ')]
    print(data)

# -> ['"AAPL"', '113.02']
