title: UnicodeEncodeError while writing to CSV
body: <p>When trying to write the data in @columns using the code below I get the following error:
  "UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xc4' in position 2: ordinal not in range(128)"</p>
  
  <p>I've tried running encode/decode to ascii but ... </p>
  
  <pre><code>u'G\xe5ng'.encode('ascii')
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>... yields the same error message. Any ideas on how to solve this?</p>
  
  <pre><code>    writer = csv.writer(out_file, delimiter=';',
                              quotechar='"', quoting=csv.QUOTE_ALL)
  
      columns = ['Gods', u'G\xe5ng', 'Cykel', 'Buss', 'Bil', u'F\xe4rja', u'Sj\xf6fart', u'T\xe5g/sp\xe5rv\xe4g']
  
  
      writer.writerow(columns)
  </code></pre>
