It recommends binary mode, but seems to largely work fine with
text/ascii mode or even arbitrary iterables. I've not seen the
rationale behind the binary recommendation, but in 10+ years of using
the csv module, I've not found any issues in using text/ascii mode
that were solved by switching to using binary mode.
