Skip Montanaro <skip at pobox.com> added the comment:

I should also point out that I've generally used this technique to 
populate the fieldnames attribute from the file:

    f = open("somefile.csv", "rb")
    rdr = csv.DictReader(f, fieldnames=csv.reader(f).next())

So it is fairly trivial to set the fieldnames attribute before actually
reading any data rows.
