That is, when I open UTF-8 file in a csv reader (after passing plain
file object), I get fields as plain strings ('str'). Since this has been

csvfo = codecs.open(csvfname, 'rb', 'utf-8')
dl = csv.excel
dl.delimiter=';'
#rd = csv.DictReader(csvfo, dialect=dl)
rd = csv.reader(csvfo, dialect=dl)
..I get plain strings as well (I get <type 'str'> when calling
type(field)), on top of error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:/Python26/converter3.py", line 99, in <module>
fill_sqla(session,columnlist,rd)
File "C:/Python26/converter3.py", line 73, in fill_sqla
for row in rd:
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\u0144' in
position 74: ordinal not in range(128)
..when doing:
for row in rd:
