Answer 1

You need the try/except inside the loop:

    for i in reader:
       try: 
           print i
       except UnicodeEncodeError:
           pass

By the way it's good practice to specify the specific type of error you're trying to catch (like I did with except UnicodeEncodeError:, since otherwise you risk making your code very hard to debug!
