Unicodecsv VS csv module

Question

Trying to understand the difference between this two. I don't really understand the word Unicode (maybe that's the problem).

An example where uincodecsv will be better than using csv module will be very much appreciated.

Thank you

Answer 1

The unicodecsv module was made for Python 2.x in order to support unicode strings in csv files. Since Python 3.x unicode is supported as the system default encoding in the standard csv module.
