self.writer.writerow([s.encode('utf-8') for s in row])

Question

I am trying to write into a file (in Python), but it says:

'ManyRelatedManager' object has no attribute 'encode'

Here is the code:

self.writer.writerow([s.encode('utf-8') for s in row])

Is there a way to avoid/fix this ?

@SimpleCoder: The csv module doesn't support unicode -> http://docs.python.org/library/csv.html — Rosh Oxymoron, Aug 20 '11 at 14:32
yeah, but it says: "Accordingly, all input should be UTF-8 or printable ASCII to be safe;..." which is my case. the thing is that my 's' object is not a unicode object, i should change it to unicode object. — doniyor, Aug 20 '11 at 14:54
the thing is: it is working fine with thise code: w.writerow([u"%d"%s.id,s.name,u"%d"%s.clicks,s.status,s.stand.nick]) but not with this one: w.writerow([u"%d"%s.id,s.name,u"%d"%s.clicks,s.status,s.stand.nick,s.studiengaenge]) because 'studiengaenge' purportedly isnot a unicode object. can that be a reason for my problem.. ? — doniyor, Aug 20 '11 at 14:56

in your code

self.writer.writerow([s.encode('utf-8') for s in row])

the "s" object may not a unicode object you should try change your "s" object to unicode first
