CSV Export fails due to non ASCII encoding

So it seems that this seems to be a python 2 problem. And apperently it's fixed in python 3.

http://bugs.python.org/issue1606092

Or the non ASCII characters have to be converted to UTF-8

(I am the original reporter)
'file' claims that the file from which the initial data was importent claims to be "UTF-8 Unicode text"

Thanks, this should be fixable for sure, I'll see what I can do! It probably needs to be more explicitly using a better encoding such as unicode.

PS I had no idea this was packaged for Arch, awesome :D If there are other bugs please do send them this way!

This bug affected me, so I made a bit of search and found out that you just have to change "writer.writerow(row)" to "writer.writerow([row])" and it will work. Now I can export my information!

Okay, I just pushed a fix for this towards 0.9, it needed proper utf8 encoding and decoding. Valter, your workaround doesn't actually produce what you want, as the row being passed in was already correctly a list, so with your change, it simply exports a string version of the list as a single value.
