UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character

See original GitHub issue

I had this UnicodeEncodeError at the import_tables('List of cities in Italy') Googling gave this:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9942594/unicodeencodeerror-ascii-codec-cant-encode-character-u-xa0-in-position-20

Replacing this line: https://github.com/bcicen/wikitables/blob/master/wikitables/models.py#L70 with vals = [ p.value.encode('utf-8') for p in node.params if _is_int(p.name) ] fixed the issue. Sorry no PR.
