New submission from cowlinator <cowlina...@gmail.com>:
The documentation for the csv.DictReader constructor (and presumably
csv.DictWriter also) has the wrong name written for the first argument. This
prevents the argument from being called by name.
>>> file = open("file.txt", 'a')
>>> csv.DictReader(csvfile=file)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: __init__() takes at least 2 arguments (1 given)
>>> csv.DictReader(f=file)
<csv.DictReader instance at 0x04D97A08>
>>> # how could i have known it was named 'f'?
Please change the documentation.
