You should not use it like that: it will only work if the CSV file is
encoded in UTF-8. If the CSV file uses any other encoding, the resulting
XML file will be ill-formed.
What you should do instead is
...
encoding_of_csv_file = some_value_that_the_producer_of_the_file_told_you
...
...
mainbox.setAttribute("city", b[10].decode(encoding_of_csv_file))
