Description
When trying to write a Stata dataset with strings containing upper latin-1 characters (which are allowed by the Stata format), I get an encoding error.
import pandas.io.stata as sta
sr = sta.StataReader('pandas/pandas/io/tests/data/stata1_encoding.dta')
df = sr.data()
sw = sta.StataWriter('stata1_encoding_dup.dta', df)
sw.write_file()I get the following output:
Traceback (most recent call last):
