For Python2, the PgSQL driver needs to be told to use Unicode #38

transcoding explicitly (odd). And if you have unicode characters, you'll then have trouble with the CSV in/out trick used for table loading, so replace csv with unicodecsv

Thanks for this! I prefer the https://pypi.python.org/pypi/backports.csv/1.0.1 over unicodecsv. I'll incorporate your fixes!
