    <p>I am attempting to work with a very large dataset that has some non-standard characters in it. I need to use unicode, as per the job specs, but I am baffled. (And quite possibly doing it all wrong.)</p> <p>I open the CSV using:</p> <pre><code> 15 ncesReader = csv.reader(open('geocoded_output.csv', 'rb'), delimiter='\t', quotechar='"') </code></pre> <p>Then, I attempt to encode it with:</p> <pre><code>name=school_name.encode('utf-8'), street=row[9].encode('utf-8'), city=row[10].encode('utf-8'), state=row[11].encode('utf-8'), zip5=row[12], zip4=row[13],county=row[25].encode('utf-8'), lat=row[22], lng=row[23]) </code></pre> <p>I'm encoding everything except the lat and lng because those need to be sent out to an API. When I run the program to parse the dataset into what I can use, I get the following Traceback.</p> <pre><code>Traceback (most recent call last): File "push_into_db.py", line 80, in &lt;module&gt; main() File "push_into_db.py", line 74, in main district_map = buildDistrictSchoolMap() File "push_into_db.py", line 32, in buildDistrictSchoolMap county=row[25].encode('utf-8'), lat=row[22], lng=row[23]) UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xd1 in position 2: ordinal not in range(128) </code></pre> <p>I think I should tell you that I'm using python 2.7.2, and this is part of an app build on django 1.4. I've read several posts on this topic, but none of them seem to directly apply. Any help will be greatly appreciated.</p> <p>You might also want to know that some of the non-standard characters causing the issue are Ñ and possibly É.</p>

    1. COWhat is your original file encoding? I think you should decode it according to the original encoding and then convert to utf 8

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
