Current: csv.py indicates lineterminator = '\r\n'
Issue: looks fine in notepad but when pulled into excel (office 2003)
extra lines are added
Resolution: should read lineterminator = '\r'

What platform are you on? Did you open the output file in
binary mode? I sort of suspect you failed to add 'b' to the
file mode and are getting a text file.
