[issue39876] csv.DictReader.fieldnames interprets unicode as ascii

[Serhiy Storchaka]

Serhiy Storchaka <storchaka+cpython at gmail.com> added the comment:

csv.DictReader does not work with encodings. It works with already decoded strings.

You have to specify the correct encoding in open() (and "t" in mode is ignored):

with open(filename, "r", encoding="utf-8") as csvfile:

By default open() uses locale encoding. It is likely 'cp1252' on American and Western European Windows.
