You're using Object Craft's old csv module.  They are also the primary
authors of the csv module that's been shipped with Python since 2.3.  I
suggest you convert your code to use the newer module if possible.  If
that's not possible (it's not all that hard - I did it a couple years ago),
try posting a note to csv at mojam.com.  The Object Craft folks are on that
list and may be able to help you out.  I think they're here as well, though
may not watch this group/list as closely.
