"invalid start byte" on Ubuntu/64 bit read_spss #1224

Open Segweigh opened 5 years ago

Segweigh commented 5 years ago

It appears that there is a problem when trying to read .sav files created in older (pre-SPSS 22) versions of SPSS. An error is raised : "UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xa2 in position 10: invalid start byte"

This solution appears to resolve that error savreaderwriter_issues 27

Is there any chance that this could be tested and potentially implemented?
