I am guessing that your csv writer is outputting something that your
spreadsheet is reading incorrectly. Try opening the csv with a text editer
(a good one, like Notepad++) so that you can really see what is going on.
Embedded commas or quotes inside a field are invitations for disaster, and
you have both. You may need to change the settings on the csv writer -- it
has lots of them, and different spreadsheet programs interpret different
csv files differently. The default settings are usually good for Excel,
but you don't mention which spreadsheet you are trying to do the reading
with, nor what settings you are using at import time. You must find a
combination that works for your situation (and it will not be easy.) It
may actually be easier to re-design the target system than to meet its
existing requirements.
Another option would be to use a tool like xlwt and send out a real
spreadsheet rather than a .csv. That way, all interpretation is under your
control.
