Have you confirmed, or can you confirm, whether or not the file gets
closed automatically when the writer gets destructed? If so, all you
need to do is:
my_csv = something_else
# or:
del my_csv
to unbind what I assume is the only reference to the csv.writer, upon
which it should promptly clean itself up.
My understanding is that in cpython the file does get closed when the
writer is deleted, however, it's not guaranteed to happen in other
Python implementations (e.g. IronPython, PyPy and Jython).
