Issue with UTF-/ encoding on csv file for excel

Question

EDIT:

As suggested special chars are displayed correctly if I use notepad++ to open the csv file. They are displayed correctly too when I import the csv file into

Answer 1

I fixed this issue using UTF-8 BOM encoding.

# -*- coding: utf-8-sig-*-
import unicodecsv as csv
import codecs
import sys
reload(sys)
sys.setdefaultencoding("utf-8-sig")
def write_csv(file,headers):


    resultFile =codecs.open(file, "w+", "utf-8-sig")

    #headers=[s.encode('utf-8') for s in headers]
    wr = csv.writer(resultFile, dialect='excel',delimiter=";",encoding="utf-8-sig")
    wr.writerow(headers)

    resultFile.close()

headers=[""]
headers.append("Command")
headers.append("Vérification")
write_csv(r"C:\Users\ATHENA-HDA\AppData\Local\Temp\test2.txt",headers)
