until I ran across the csv module. Had accomplished this:
coord = csv.reader(open('true_coord'))
for line in coord:
print line

I suspect using csv is overkill, but you'd need to be working with
Dialects by first creating a Dialect, then applying the Dialect to your
source data.
I've not done that, and for your use case, I think I'd do something like:
filedata = '''1001, 342
Displayed below is an extract from a CSV file that displays some [land
surveying] coordinates:
1001, 342821.71900, 679492.08300, 0.0,
1002, 342838.55786, 679909.81375, 0.0,
1003, 342965.61860, 679911.34762, 0.0,
1004, 343012.82497, 680338.36624, 0.0,
1005, 3427
