Assuming your using WSGI (you don't say) it would be something like this:
def wsgi( environ, start_response ):
start_response( '200 OK', [
('Content-Type','text/csv'),
('Content-Disposition', 'attachment; filename=whatever.csv')
])
...
If your using cgi it will be something like:
print "Content-Type: text/csv"
print 'Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=whatever.csv'
print
...
