Unicode problem with converter

[hackenspp]

I had some error with the converter, python is not my cup of tea but I tried to correct:
converter.py line 143
if count % 50_000 == 0: --> if count % 50000 == 0:

And also:
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xe9' in position 18: ordinal not in range(128)
I used the unicodecsv in the writer.py and it worked
