The Task

Your team has been given a list of people who work at your company in quoted CSV format, with a requirement to produce a clean output of the CSV file using a Python application (See below).
Another member of your team has started work on a CSV parser to load the data from this file. You have been asked to finish the program by implementing the __parse_row method in csvparser.py.

Your only area of focus should be the implementation of the method.

CSV:

"Kacie","Holland","Principal Consultant",""
"Alishia","Burt","Consultant",""
"Yazmin","Rice","Senior Consultant",""
"Edmund","Ramsey","Consultant",""
"Oliver","Rooney","Associate Consultant",""
"Kya","Donaldson","Consultant",""
...

Output:

Kacie - Holland - Principal Consultant - 
Alishia - Burt - Consultant - 
Yazmin - Rice - Senior Consultant - 
Edmund - Ramsey - Consultant - 
Oliver - Rooney - Associate Consultant - 
Kya - Donaldson - Consultant -
