unless there's more the OP isn't telling us about the format, I disagree,

Please note: I didn't say it could not be solved with a cvs module, only that they don't really help.

For example, you've resorted to split for the embedded field. Why it it acceptable to do so there, but not for the rest?

But, your code also only solves half the problem; neatly side-stepping the issue of "the last line also should have a semicolon, where as other lines should have a coma at the end only.".

Whilst I'm quite certain that you can solve that too; the use of a csv module does nothing to assist in that. In fact it effectively denies access to some information that could be used to assist in the production of the output. (Ie. You unconditionally attempt to split the 3rd field regardless of whether it requires it.)
