D'oh, sorry.  A doubly-nested with statement?

     input = open(self.full_path)
     with input:
         output = open(self.output_csv, 'ab')
         with output:
             ...

Of course, if you were willing to use a doubly-nested with statement, 
then the original open-in-the-with form would have fit in 80 chars... 
Also, I have a sneaking suspicion there's still an error case not 
handled well, someone will point it out if so!
