Here's a sketch:

Open the source file using a csv.reader(); open the destination file using a 
csv.writer().

Use zip() and a for-loop to iterate over the new column and the rows in the 
source.

Insert the new field into the source row, e. g. row.insert(3, field)

Use writerow() to write the modified row.
