If you are dealing with csv fioles you should look at using the csv module.

the readline and ipline variables are not needed. just use line!

you don't need the parentheses here, its not C.
And you definitely don't need two sets of them!

just add it to the end of line before writing it using any of the
normal string addition operations, eg:

line += newfield    or
line = "%s%s" % (line,newfield)
