If you can change xyz.py you can avoid this by adding an optional
filename parameter to the function.

It's not such a good idea to hide the exception like this; you might at
least want to print the actual exception. Or just let it propagate.

You can use the csv module to write the header row, too.
I would write this as
def csvwriter(*column_definitions, filename=None):
if filename is none:
filename = raw_input("Name of the file to produce?
(ATTENTION: WILL BE OVERWRITTEN!) ")
try:
out = csv.writer(open(filename, "ab"),
delimiter=";", quoting=csv.QUOTE_NONE)
out.writerow(column_definitions)
except Exception, e
print("Couldn't open %s for writing." %
output_csv_filename)
print e
return out
