There are examples at end of the CSV module documentation which show how to
create Unicode readers and writers.  You can extend the UnicodeReader class
to peek at the LCID field and save the corresponding codepage for the
remainder of the line.  (This would assume you're not creating CSV files
which contain newlines.  Each line read would be assumed to be a new record
in the file.)
