I agree that for my case, I was using the wrong quoting parameter, and if I specify that my file has no quotes, it works as expected.

But I still think that in a different case, when a file do have quotes, but they are not paired, it'd be better to raise an exception, than to ignore the error and assume there is just a missing quote at the end.

From the Zen of Python: "Errors should never pass silently", and I think it's clear that there is an error in the file.
