Double decode utf8 and cp1252
#!/usr/bin/env python
"""
Ever had a mysqldump of utf8 data stored in latin1 tables, dumped in utf8 and
munged with windows cp1252?
If so this is your friend. Just pipe it through this little baby and spare
yourself hours of unicode hell- it'll take your dirt and spit out clean utf8.
You can also import it and use it in your python code.
