with the lexical suite and the file wasn't open in the detail print
function. Is there
a way around this, other than passing the file as I have here? Also, is it a
good idea to pass a file handle like that or is there a better way?

It is just fine. Example:

 with open("blah", "w") as blahfp:
   print("header", file=blahfp)
   print_details(blahfp, ...)
   print("footer", file=blahfp)

 def print_details(fp, blah_info):
   ... loop using blah_info to write data to "fp"
