> Ah, thank you Dan. I followed your advice ... the working code:

with fileinput.input(sys.argv[1:]) as f:
    reader = csv.DictReader(f)
    for row in reader:
        if fileinput.isfirstline():
            continue
        for key, value in row.items():
            pass #processing

I was hung up on that continue on firstline, because I thought that would
skip the header of the first file. I think now the csv.DictReader(f)
command consumes it first.
