This allows you to hold on to your csv in a dict form, do lookups and modifications, and also write it in a preserved order. You can also change which column you want to be your lookup column (making sure that there is a unique id for every row of that column. In my example of usage, it assumes that both classes are contained withing the same file named 'CustomDictReader.py'

You forked my recipe and didn't change anything, that's pretty lame of you.
