Body
I wrote a Python script that processes CSV files with non-ascii characters, encoded in UTF-8. However the encoding of the output is broken. So, from this in the input: <pre><code>"d\xc4\x9bjin hornictv\xc3\xad" </code></pre> I get this in the output: <pre><code>"d\xe2\x99\xafjin hornictv\xc2\xa9\xc6\xaf" </code></pre> Can you suggest where the encoding error might come from? Have you seen similar behaviour previously? EDIT: I'm using <code>csv</code> standard library with the <code>UnicodeWriter</code> class featured in the <a href="http://docs.python.org/library/csv.html" rel="nofollow">docs</a>. I use Python version 2.6.6. EDIT 2: The code to reproduce the behaviour: <pre><code>#!/usr/bin/env python #-*- coding:utf-8 -*- import csv from pymarc import MARCReader # The pymarc package available PyPI: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/pymarc/2.71 from UnicodeWriter import UnicodeWriter # The UnicodeWriter from: http://docs.python.org/library/csv.html def getRow(tag, record): if record[tag].is_control_field(): row = [tag, record[tag].value()] else: row = [tag] + record[tag].subfields return row inputFile = open("input.mrc", "r") outputFile = open("output.csv", "wb") reader = MARCReader(inputFile, to_unicode = True) writer = UnicodeWriter(outputFile, delimiter = ",", quoting = csv.QUOTE_MINIMAL) for record in reader: if bool(record["001"]): tags = [field.tag for field in record.get_fields()] tags.sort() for tag in tags: writer.writerow(getRow(tag, record)) inputFile.close() outputFile.close() </code></pre> The input data is <a href="http://dl.dropbox.com/u/893551/input.mrc" rel="nofollow">available here</a> (large file).

Guidance

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.
