You can set the csv.writer to quote nothing with quoting=csv.QUOTE_NONE for example:

import csv
with open('eggs.csv', 'wb') as csvfile:
    spamwriter = csv.writer(csvfile, delimiter=' ',
                            escapechar=' ', quoting=csv.QUOTE_NONE)
    spamwriter.writerow(['Spam'] * 5 + ['Baked Beans'])
    spamwriter.writerow(['Spam', 'Lovely Spam', 'Wonderful Spam'])

Produces:

Spam Spam Spam Spam Spam Baked  Beans
Spam Lovely  Spam Wonderful  Spam

If you do QUOTING_NONE you also need and escape character.
