It doesn't seem to get as far as actually reading the file.

csv.reader is not built-in, that is correct. But it is implemented in C
so you won't get a good traceback into where the failure is actually
occurring.
What version of Python is on the two machines?
A couple of things to try, maybe some hints will come out:
- print the value of datei just to make sure nothing funny there
- split the open to a separate line to make sure it is the call to
reader that is the problem:
f = open(datei, "rb")
reader = csv.reader(f, delimiter = ";", quotechar = "", quoting =
csv.QUOTE_NONE)
