Pandas read_csv fails to parsed escaped doubled quoted text which contains comma

Say that test.csv is a file containing the following content.

date,description,id
2014-09-05,"follow best practices to give \"buyers what they want,\" and to ",733
2014-09-06,"whatever",734

The code below raises an exception of ParserError. Notice that read_csv works after removing either the escaped double quotes or the comma inside the escaped double quotes.

import pandas as pd
pd.read_csv('test.csv')

@dclong : Do read_csv("test.csv", escapechar="\\") That will tell pandas NOT to split on that comma.

Closing this issue, as there is a valid way to read this file in pandas already. @dclong : if this method fails for you, let me know, and we can re-open if needed.
