So why aren't you using it?  There's not much point in solving "the 
newlines problem" if you're going to later switch to a library which 
doesn't have the problem.  The csv module will eliminate the newlines, 
and the commas, organizing your data for you directly (assuming this 
really is a csv file, and that the separator is comma).  None of your 
present code seems to believe it's a csv file, so maybe that's just a 
misdirection.
