It certainly makes life easier.

Yep...the source csv.py is likely already on your computer:

   >>> import csv
   >>> csv.__file__
   '/usr/lib/python2.5/csv.pyc'
   tchase at asgix2:~$ ls /usr/lib/python2.5/csv.*
   /usr/lib/python2.5/csv.py  /usr/lib/python2.5/csv.pyc


Same idea in Windows:

   >>> import csv
   >>> csv.__file__
   'C:\\Program Files\\Python24\\lib\\csv.pyc'
   c:\> dir "\Program Files\Python24\lib\csv.*"
   ...

Just about all the modules in the standard library have python 
source in this same directory, so you can spelunk within.
