[issue1606092] csv module broken for unicode

[R. David Murray]

R. David Murray  added the comment:

This is indeed fixed in Python 3.  If someone wishes to step forward
with patches for 2.7, they can reopen this bug, but I don't think it is
worth the effort.

[issue1606092] csv module broken for unicode

Craig McQueen  added the comment:

I think I see now--it accepts Unicode input, but converts it back to
bytes internally using the ASCII codec. So it works as long as the
Unicode input contains on ASCII characters. That's a gotcha.

It appears that it's been fixed in Python 3.x, judging by the documentation.

[issue1606092] csv module broken for unicode

[Craig McQueen]

Craig McQueen  added the comment:

Is this still an open bug? I have the following code:

lookup = {}
csv_reader = csv.reader(codecs.open(lookup_file_name, 'r', 'utf-8'))
for row in csv_reader:
lookup[row[1]] = row[0]

And it "appears to work" (it runs) using Python 2.6.2. So has this bug
been fixed?

[issue1606092] csv module broken for unicode

[Mike Statkus]

Mike Statkus <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment:

Example of UnicodeWriter.writerow(self,row) presented in Python 2.5
Manual at section 9.1.5 (Examples on CSV module of standard library)
does not correctly process rows containing not only strings, but also
int type values, raising an attribute error. 
1st line of code in UnicodeWriter.writerow:
self.writer.writerow([s.encode("utf-8") for s in row])
tries to call .encode() method for s, that might be an int, not a
string. A simple workaround is:
self.writer.writerow([unicode(s).encode("utf-8") for s in row])
