I got access to Python 2.6.5 on Windows and ran this simple
example:
Python 2.6.5 (r265:79096, Mar 19 2010, 21:48:26) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)] on
win32
Type "copyright", "credits" or "license()" for more information.

IDLE 2.6.5
>>> f = open("H:sample.csv", "wb")
>>> import csv
>>> writer = csv.writer(f)
>>> writer.writerow([1,2,3])
>>> writer.writerow(['a', 'b', 'c'])
>>> del writer
>>> f.close()
>>>
I then looked at the CSV file which it generated.
Looked find to me. Each of the two rows was terminated
by a single CRLF pair.
Then I repeated the "test", opening the file in text
mode:
>>> f = open("H:sample2.csv", "w")
>>> writer = csv.writer(f)
>>> writer.writerow([1,2,3])
>>> writer.writerow(['a', 'b', 'c'])
>>> del writer
>>> f.close()
>>>
That output does indeed terminate each line with
CRCRLF and when viewed in a spreadsheet program
such as OpenOffice Calc (probably Excel as well),
displays a blank line between the 123 row and the
abc row.
I've removed the "unit test needed" attribute from the
ticket as there is a test_writerows test case in the
Python test suite. Also closing again and marking
invalid. If you still believe there is actually a
problem, feel free to reopen this issue, but also
please send me (s...@pobox.com) a short example and
the erroneous output it produces for you (attach your
two files - don't just embed them in your mail msg).

resolution: -> invalid
stage: unit test needed ->
status: open -> closed
