Hello everyone,

I just ran into this the other day when trying to write to a file. I searched the documentation and found this:

fp = codecs.open("dc.csv", mode="w", encoding="utf-8") 

This opens a file that is utf-8 aware and it let me write the file. Doesn't answer your question about the encoding but it will let you save the record.
