Thank you both for having a look.  I just find that these sort of gotchas 
rather annoying (nonsensical mental burden of having to memorize behavior that 
does not behave like most other features for "hysterical raisins").

I think making the documentation more visible would be far better than nothing. 
 Currently, help(csv) does not even mention the newline parameter as an 
available option in any context, nor does help(csv.writer).

I think ideally, the user should be able to rely on a given module's help 
documentation for most things without having to leave the interpreter to 
consult the manual.  Thoughts?
