title: Python: CSV module. EscapeChar is messing up the output
body: <p>Trying to open a CSV that contains quotes and remove them. I've looked through the documentation for the CSV module for python and it's removing the quotes like I want but the output is trying to escape the comma, which is what I'm trying to avoid. This code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>csv.register_dialect('escaped',delimiter=",", escapechar="\\",  quoting=csv.QUOTE_NONE)
  reader = csv.reader(open(input_file, "rb"), skipinitialspace=True)
  writer = csv.writer(open(output_file, "wb"), dialect='escaped')
  
  writer.writerows(reader)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Results in output like this value1\,value2. How do I get the backslash out of there so it's only the comma in the output. The input files contains a bunch of lines which look this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>"Value1,Value2"
  </code></pre>
