I did the following:


#####################################################################

def encode_utf8( f ):
    for line in f:
        yield line.encode( "utf-8" )

#####################################################################

def BeginLocalizationParsing( outputDir, inputRoot, inputFile ):
    f = codecs.open( inputFile, "rb", encoding="utf-16" )

    r = csv.reader( encode_utf8( f ) )
    print r.next()

#####################################################################

It worked perfectly! Thank you! I guess I don't have to make a CSV parser
after all :P
