Import ascii characters not valid.
See original GitHub issueHello,
I try to upload a csv file with the name of a user (Ævar). but I get this error.
UnicodeEncodeError encountred while trying to read file: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xc6' in position 241: ordinal not in range(128)
I have debugged a part of the code to find out where it goes wrong. Everything goes well except extracting the data from tablib.
If I create a print statement at ‘formats/base_formats.py’ at line 108 (before return data) It will crash.
Python interpreter = 2.7 Django = 1.9 tablib version = 0.10.0 also tried the dev version. django-import-export = 0.4.2

@int-ua I’m facing the production server phenomenon (Elastic Beanstalk, AWS). In development, everything’s just fine… Any ideas?
Are you having it in a development environment? I have it on the production server, but can’t reproduce it on my machine even with the seemingly identical configuration.
