I have some CSV data from Office / OpenOffice in "nearly ASCII" format.
This is just basic text but it it stored as UTF-8, and has curly quotes,
etc.
Is there a way to easily read the file as ASCII by forcing these to the
standard ASCII equivalents?
You should be able to process it using the string translation methods with
a one to one conversion.
try help(''.translate)
