I updated the SCSV.py parser to handle csv files with named headers

Examples:  
Without headers:

```auto
from app.csv import SCSV

path = "C:\\Users\\User\\Desktop\\Training\\Materials\\presList.csv"

data = SCSV()
data.opencsv(path)

info = data.nextrow()

while info:
  president = info[1]
  wikientry = info[2]

  print president, wikientry

  info = data.nextrow()

data.close()
```

With headers:

```auto
from app.csv import SCSV

path = "C:\\Users\\User\\Desktop\\Training\\Materials\\presList.csv"

data = SCSV()
data.enableheaders()
data.opencsv(path)

info = data.nextrow()
while info:
  president = info["President"]
  wikientry = info["Wikipedia Entry"]

  print president, wikientry

  info = data.nextrow()

data.close()
```
