Answer 1

If you are using Python 2:

make encoding as : str(s.encode("utf-8")) i.e.

def writerow(self, row):
    self.writer.writerow([str(s.encode("utf-8")) for s in row])
    # Fetch UTF-8 output from the queue ...
    data = self.queue.getvalue()
    data = data.decode("utf-8")
    # ... and reencode it into the target encoding
    data = self.encoder.encode(data)
    # write to the target stream
    self.stream.write(data)
    # empty queue
    self.queue.truncate(0)
