does the CSV format even support Unicode-encoded data streams? (in contrast to, say, Latin-1 or UTF-8 encoded string fields) this is a very common XML confusion, where people think that just be- cause a file format can be used to store Unicode data, a parser for that format ought to be able to parse Unicode strings... </F> -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
