Python text parsing and field delimiters.?

Question

I have a Python script that is reading URLs from a text file.  Some of the URLs will need usernames & passwords.  What is the best way to delimit and read the different fields in Python?  I need something that can handle delimiter characters inside the URL or password field.

Thanks!

Use the Python CSV module:
http://docs.python.org/library/csv.html

CSV files are usually delimited by comma, but this module can handle if the delimiter is in the tokens.
CSV files can also be open up be excel.
