    csv.writer is a ‘builtin’ function. That is, it is written in compiled C code rather than Python. So its internal variables can’t be accessed from Python code.

    That being said, I’m not sure why you would need to inspect the csv.writer object to find out the file object. That object is specified when creating the object:

    w = csv.writer(fileobj, dialect, ...) 

    So if you need to access that object later, just save it in another variable.
