The documentation for the csv.DictReader constructor is

.. class:: DictReader(csvfile, fieldnames=None, restkey=None, restval=None, dialect='excel', *args, **kwds)

but the implementation is

def __init__(self, f, fieldnames=None, restkey=None, restval=None, dialect="excel", *args, **kwds):

The name of the first argument is documented incorrectly, leading to surprise errors when attempting to use key word arguments.
