Fix broken example of csv.reader use (it returns an iterator, which isn't
...
indexable) by using the same 'for' construct as all other examples. (Also
emphasizes that reading from a random iterable is no different than reading
from a file.)

of latex formatting for *args and **kwds so I just guessed.

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.

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.
