I have a file that has an obnoxious preface to the header. So it looks like this:

Review performed by:    

Meeting:    

Person:     

Number:     

Code:

Tab Separated Header Names That I Want To Use

I want to skip past everything and use the tab sep header names for my code. This is what I have so far:

reader = csv.DictReader(CSVFile)
for i in range(14): #trying to skip the first 14 rows
    reader.next()
for row in reader:
    print(row)
    if args.nextCode:
        tab = (row["Tab"])
        sep = int((row["Separated"]))

This code gets this error:

File "/usr/local/Cellar/python/2.7.5/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/csv.py", line 104, in next
    row = self.reader.next()
StopIteration

I tried to print the rows, to see where I was in the file, and I changed the "range(14)" to range 5, but when I print the row, I get this:

{'Review performed by:': 'Tab/tSeparated/tHeader/tNames/tThat/tI/tWant/tTo/tUse'}
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "program.py", line 396, in 
    main()
  File "program.py", line 234, in main
    tab = (row["Tab"])
KeyError: 'Tab'

So I am not really sure the right way to skip those top lines. Any help would be appreciated.
