And where in all of that do you recommend that .decode(some_encoding)
be inserted?
If encoding is an issue for your application, then I'd recommend you use
codecs.open('customer_x.txt', 'rb', encoding='ebcdic') instead of open()
This would be the best way *if* the csv module could handle Unicode input,
but unfortunately this is not the case. See my other reply.
