#14777 closed (fixed)

The "Generating CSV" doc should mention Unicode issues.

Description

The "Using the Python CSV library" section of the "Outputting CSV with Django" doc should speak to Unicode issues w/ Python's csv module, since Django slings unicode objects around. This project ( ​https://github.com/jdunck/python-unicodecsv ) attempts to be a drop-in replacement, and the docs for the csv module itself as a "UnicodeWriter" section at the bottom.

I'll work up a draft if there is interested.

I've run into that issue as well, so I think a quick note would be great.
