Python has a fancy CSV module. But near as I can tell, despite all its support for formats and headers and DictReaders it doesn't have a simple way to say "give me my data in a list of dictionaries with headers as keys". Here's the best I could do:
# Grab the headers first
headerReader = csv.reader(fp)
headers = headerReader.next()

# Now construct a second reader on the same 
# file stream to get the actual data
dataReader = csv.DictReader(fp, headers)
for d in dataReader:
  print d
That feels spooky, but it works.
