Sometimes, the csv file encoding is wrong. You can open the file with an explicit encoding like “cp1252” or “utf-8”. Other times, you’ll need to fuss around with str.decode() (or eval()) to get bytes and the bytes.encode() to build the str you want. Or. Worse. You have to process the csv in bytes. 2024-10-05T13:50:45+02:00
