Read in 2-column CSV, output many files based on field

Is there a way to read in a two-columned CSV file, and based on the fields in 1st column, output many different files? The input/output looks something like:

Code:

input.csv:
call	Call Mom.
call	Call T-Mobile.
go	Go home.
go	Go to school.
go	Go to gas station.
play	Play music.
play	Play Beatles.

Code:

outputs 3 files:
call.xml
<value><tokens><token>Call</token><token>Mom</token></tokens></value>
<value><tokens><token>Call</token><token>T-Mobile</token></tokens></value>

go.xml
<value><tokens><token>Go</token><token>home</token></tokens></value>
<value><tokens><token>Go</token><token>to</token><token>school</token></tokens></value>
<value><tokens><token>Go</token><token>to</token><token>gas</token><token>station</token></tokens></value>

play.xml
<value><tokens><token>Play</token><token>music</token></tokens></value>
<value><tokens><token>Play</token><token>Beatles</token></tokens></value>

I'm stuck at the part of checking which items in 1st column are the same, then saving all those identical items along with their rows into a new list?? Is this possible to do with shell scripts, or would I need to use Python?
