This code is well written thank you for the post. I got it to work by putting my CSV in the same directory as the .py code.

I made a few edits to bring it to py 3.3

import csv
#Input the file name."JoeDupes3_forearth"
fname = input("Enter file name WITHOUT extension: ")
data = csv.reader(open(fname + '.csv'), delimiter = ',')
#Skip the 1st header row.
#data.next()
#Open the file to be written.
f = open('csv2kml.kml', 'w')

#Writing the kml file.
f.write("\n")
f.write("\n")
f.write("\n")
f.write("   " + fname + '.kml' +"\n")
for row in data:
    f.write("   \n")
    f.write("       " + str(row[1]) + "\n")
    f.write("       " + str(row[3]) + "\n")
    f.write("       \n")
    f.write("           " + str(row[10]) + "," + str(row[11]) + "," + str() + "\n")
    f.write("       \n")
    f.write("   \n")
f.write("\n")
f.write("\n")
print ("File Created. ")
print ("Press ENTER to exit. ")
input()
f.close()

Hope it helps if you are trying to convert your data.
