How do you pass an encoding to odo when loading a csv file?

Question

The odo documentation is quite sparse, it does not explain how to pass further parameters when, say loading a csv file. For example, how do I tell odo that the file is latin1 encoded?

data=[]
odo('mylatin1.csv',data)

Answer 1

Try using the encoding keyword argument:

data = []
odo('mylatin1.csv', data, encoding='latin1')

Alternatively, try specifying the encoding using odo.resource:

from odo import resource

my_csv = resource('mylatin1.csv', encoding='latin1')
data = []
odo(my_csv, data)
