Hmmm, very likely making a dumb suggestion here, but just had a quick look. I can't see a closing of the file handle – perhaps the csv module does some magic? The examples at http://docs.python.org/library/csv.html don't seem to show explicitly closing the file handle (though they are all using a 'with' statement which likely tears things down correctly when it exits).
