Pandas.read_csv 带有多个分隔符用于行和列

Question

I am trying to read a csv into a pandas dataframe that separates rows by bracket and columns by commas: "["column1, column2, etc "]". There are also double quotes in the file text. For example this should produce 4 columns and 3 rows.

slug,site_id,page_id,page_text
"[""act"", 1, 24, ""Hi, thank you so much for RSVP'ing""]","[""act"", 1, 43, ""Thank you for taking the time to tell us why wireless matters to you!“”]”,"[""uoaa"", 2, 238, ""First published at Oregonlive.com on January 28th, 2019.“”]”

The code I'm trying just makes a mess of it, creating 1 row and many columns with wherever there are commas. It is not registering that everything in between the brackets is a single row, and a new set of brackets means its a new row.

df = pd.read_csv(tar.extractfile(csv_path), header=0, sep=r'\[|\]|,', quotechar='"',quoting=1, engine = 'python')

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Rows are separated by , and a row is between "[...]" :

"[""act"", 1, 24, ""Hi, thank you so much for RSVP'ing""]","[""act"", 1, 43, ""Thank you for taking the time to tell us why wireless matters to you!""]"

import pandas as pd
import ast
import re

ROWS = re.compile(r'''(\"{1}\[.*\]\"{1}),(\"{1}\[.*\]\"{1})*''')

records = [ast.literal_eval(re.sub(r'"("*)', r'\1', row))
               for row in ROWS.findall(open('data.csv').read())[0]]

df = pd.DataFrame(records)

>>> df
     0  1   2                                                  3
0  act  1  24                 Hi, thank you so much for RSVP'ing
