You're right. The pyjs string has not the encode/decode method. The pyjs
string is based on the javascript string (read: it is the javascript string
with some extra methods). The encode/decode methods are not implemented. We
could maybe implement some dummy methods (just returning 'self').
Javascript strings are always unicode (if I recall correctly).
If you're doing it right (correct paths etc.), you'll be using the csv
module for pyjs as found in pyjs/src/pyjs/lib/
