Well, reading the error message, it's saying that module "csv", coming from
file "C:/Python25/myscript/excel\
csv.py" has no member "writer".  So, it seems you've called your test script
(module) "csv" which effecitvely hid the standard python "csv" module.

Try renaming your script file to something else ('testcsv.py' maybe) so its
name doesn't conflict with the standard "csv" module and try again.
