Hi all,

I am csv.reader to pull in info from a very long sheet. I am doing work on that data set and then I am using the xlwt package to give me a workable excel file.

However, I get this error:

UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0x92 in position 34: ordinal not in range(128)

My question to you all is, how can I find exactly where that error is in my data set? Also, is there some code that I can write which will look through my data set and find out where the issues lie (because some data sets run without the above error and others have problems)?
