Skip Montanaro 10659f2540 bring description of optional and keyword args for DictReader and DictWriter
classes into line with the actual code.  I didn't see any obvious examples
of latex formatting for *args and **kwds so I just guessed.

Skip Montanaro 7895146c40 typo 2004-01-21 13:34:35 +00:00
Skip Montanaro dffeed3ffa Make the fieldnames argument optional in the DictReader. If self.fieldnames
is None, the next row read is used as the fieldnames.  In the common case,
this means the programmer doesn't need to know the fieldnames ahead of time.
The first row of the file will be used.  In the uncommon case, this means
the programmer can set the reader's fieldnames attribute to None at any time
and have the next row read as the next set of fieldnames, so a csv file can
contain several "sections", each with different fieldnames.

Skip Montanaro 5e4e39f12a Note that csv files (when they are actual files) must be opened in 'b'inary
mode.  Note that the only restriction on the csvfile passed to writer
objects is that it have a write method.
