DictReader has a different interface from csv.DictReader

[lucaswiman]

The csv342 version of DictReader cannot accept a list of CSV lines, though the built in version in both Python 2 and Python 3 can do so. If you're interested in accepting patches, I could submit one for this issue.

csv342 on python 2.7

>>> import csv342 as csv
>>> list(csv.DictReader(['a,b', '1,2']))

AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'next'

Python 3.4 (also works on 3.6)

>>> import csv
>>> list(csv.DictReader(['a,b', '1,2']))
[{'a': '1', 'b': '2'}]
