I think this may have been lost somewhere in the last 90 messages, but adding a warning to DictReader in the docs seems like it solves almost the entire problem.

Jeff, it breaks code that works now because duplicates aren't cared about.

Shane is putting code up for a NEW call that you can use if you're worried about how the current one works and consideration for this issue is being included in the derivation of a new library for the next (and therefore allowed to be incompatible) python library version.
