Exactly.  http://www.python.org/doc/2.3.5/lib/module-csv.html says:

"Note: This version of the csv module doesn't support Unicode input. Also,
there are currently some issues regarding ASCII NUL characters. Accordingly,
all input should generally be printable ASCII to be safe. These restrictions
will be removed in the future. "

That note is still there in the current development docs, so it looks like
it hasn't yet been fixed.
