A very good tool/reference to see how things are done in wxPython is the 
demo, if you check the one for the listctrl you will see this:

    def OnItemSelected(self, event):
        ##print event.GetItem().GetTextColour()
        self.currentItem = event.m_itemIndex
        self.log.WriteText("OnItemSelected: %s, %s, %s, %s\n" %
                           (self.currentItem,
                            self.list.GetItemText(self.currentItem),
                            self.getColumnText(self.currentItem, 1),
                            self.getColumnText(self.currentItem, 2)))

So, just replace the WriteText with the routine you use to write to your 
CSV file.
