New submission from Christoph Rauch:
I have uncovered a strange behavior in io.TextIOWrapper which I think is a bug.
#!/usr/bin/env python
# encoding: utf-8
import csv
import io
raw_file = io.FileIO('utf-8-encoded.csv', 'rb')
stream = io.BufferedReader(raw_file)
stream = io.TextIOWrapper(stream, encoding="UTF-8")
reader = csv.reader(stream, delimiter=";")
cells = 0
for row in reader:
# Cells should contain 4 Unicode characters.
assert all([len(cell.decode('utf-8')) == 4 for cell in row]), row
cells += len(row)
assert cells == 210, cells
This produces a not very useful:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "utf8-textio-test.py", line 15, in
for row in reader:
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode characters in position 1-4:
ordinal not in range(128)
The only way to let it *not* crash is to set encoding to ascii and errors to
ignore, but this clears out all the characters with ord>128, clearly not useful
as well, so I hope this behavior is not intended.
I appended a file with which to test this problem.
