Python 2's csv module doesn't easily deal with unicode strings, leading to the dreaded "'ascii' codec can't encode characters in position Python2's stdlib csv module is nice, but it doesn't support unicode. In that case I think you need proper tool. If the encoding of the file is unknown, then it's best to use some like chardet to determine the encoding before processing.

I'm having trouble using the unicodecsv reader. How do we handle problem users? Read the first line of the csv file which are headers Read the remaining lines and put them in a dictionary My broken code: Or is that only if someone is creating the csv file? I switched the reader line to: Then lets convert this utf-8 to ascii format. I think that's as far as we can go with this question. Is the writer needed?

You need to declare the encoding of the input file when creating the reader, just like you did when creating the writer: Its the Unicode and how to process it that escapes me. I've completely missed the plot. The reader code is independent of how the file is created though it assumes a valid csv file encoded as utf Some of the data is international.
UTF8 is now the standard format for python3. DictRead will take care of reading header and converting rest of the rows into Dict rowdicts.

You can unicofecsv around it by encoding everything just before calling write or just after readbut why not add support to the serializer? Sign up using Email and Password.

My code worked fine until one day one of the fields had Unicode characters added. And, as expected, I get the 'UnicodeDecodeError'. Maybe the example above has the answers, but they are just completely going unicodecsg my head.
