Thank you! That was easy. Now I have another problem. I use RPy and read the spss database with method read.spss inside a nested R code in Python, that looks like that:
import rpy r(""" library(foreign) baza <- read.spss(""" + analysis[0] + """) print(baza$demo_izob0) """) Now when my text data labels in spss have slavic characters, they are not recognised and output is something like that: stiriletna srednja �ola nedokon�ana osnovna �ola What should I do here?
