encoding error

[derikon]

I encountered a problem with encoding while reading and writing csv files.
There is an associated error file for each city:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./AirImport/importer.py", line 153, in get_csv_data
    f.write(data)
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character '\xb5' in position 34: ordinal not in range(128)

:-D sorry about the delay. Which python version are you using? I've been running this on 3.4 without issues.

When you confirm the python version, I'll try to replicate the error, try your PR and quite probably merge it, thank you!

I'm using python 3.6.1

Please use a unicode enabled system locale: export LC_ALL=en_US.utf-8 and also make sure this local is enabled in /etc/locale.gen. Otherwise python will assume ASCII encoding when opening files, which results in the error you see above.
