Problem using s.strip() to remove leading whitespace in .csv file

[Guillaume Chorn]

Thanks, the suggestion

print name.decode("utf-8").strip()

worked like a charm.  When I did the print repr(name) I got exactly what
you predicted.  I'm not yet sure what all of this means, but I'm going to
read this <http://docs.python.org/howto/unicode.html> in the hopes of
finding out.  Anyway thanks again for the help!


cheers,
Guillaume
