Bug Description
When i run:
/usr/bin/openstack project list --quiet --format csv --long
On a database that has unicode format and special characters (accents, etc...) i get this error:
ERROR: openstack 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xe1' in position 1: ordinal not in range(128)
I found that the Cliff library uses a csv.writer object to generate the output and the csv module does not handle unicode strings, so it in order to avoid this problem the strings have to be converted to ASCII encoding.
