csv.Error: iterator should return strings, not bytes

You open the file in text mode.

More specifically:

ifile  = open('sample.csv', "rt", encoding=<theencodingofthefile>)

Good guesses for encoding is “ascii” and “utf8”. You can also leave the encoding off, and it will use the system default encoding, which tends to be UTF8, but may be something else.
