It would be nice because many csv users use it to export files to spreadsheets and Excel is certainly a reference. But there may be a difference! One thing is to do things as Excel does and another is to write data in a way Excel understands. The later, IMO, is not so complicated.

It just should convert in a way Excel understands. Anyway, a csv user needs to do that if it is not provided by csv. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
