Vincent,

A simple workaround would be to define a fully quoting dialect:

class quoted_excel(csv.excel):
  quoting=csv.QUOTE_NONNUMERIC     # or QUOTE_ALL

That would cause your generated CSV files to start with a
quote character, e.g.:

    "ID","FOO"
    1,"bar"
    2,"bAz"

Try that and see if it makes Excel 2003 happy.
