How to escape comma in string Python 2.7 in a .csv file
<p>I have a string <code>ven = "the big bad, string"</code> in a .csv file. I need to escape the <code>,</code> character using <em>Python 2.7</em>. </p>

<p>Currently I am doing this: <code>ven = "the big bad\, string"</code>, but when I run the following command <code>print ven</code>, it prints <code>the big bad\, string</code> in the terminal. </p>

<p>How do I effectively escape the <code>,</code> character from this string within a <code>.csv</code> file so if someone were to dl that file and open it in excel it wouldn't screw everything up?</p>
