[TIP] Mock and csv reader

[Sean Fisk]

Hi Flavio,

Exactly what function are you trying to test? I assume it is the with
open(...) block, but that's not currently in a different function. I think
I could better understand your problem if you posted your test code and
your function under test.

Thanks,
