Flyers - encoding errors

[kgrons]

The script gets caught on extended ASCII characters from the OPAS titles, requiring us to manually modify the source CSV.

We need to modify the encoding parameters in our script so it does not get hung up on those characters.

[kgrons]

Interim fix:

• when exporting from performance database, save the CSV with UTF-8 encoding

I think you should take a look at normalizing the string. https://docs.python.org/3.5/library/unicodedata.html

For example:

unicodedata.normalize('NFKD', stringVar).encode('ascii', 'ignore')
