If your program is correct so far, then you could add it simply with:
             ff.write(readline + " " + newdata)

Although your message subject says CSV, it looks like you're breaking 
the line up by spaces.  So if in fact each field is constrained not to 
have a space within, and there is a single space between fields, then 
the above will work.

If, on the other hand, you have to deal with fields that can contain the 
delimiter, perhaps escaped or quoted, then things get much more complicated.
