The csv module is already type-sensitive (with QUOTE_NONNUMERIC). I agree, that we shouldn't modify the csv module just for one user and one program.

If a standard CVS library in Java (or other popular laguages) differentiates between empty string and null value when read from CSV, it would be a serious argument to support this in Python. Quick search don't find this.
