I always seem to get tripped up when it comes to utf8 and python. I keep on getting errors like "UnicodeError: ASCII encoding error: ordinal not in range.." when I print out something non-ascii-ish. And I always find a fix for it, but I can never remember what it is next time I encounter it. So for future reference, here it is what to do when you (or I for that matter) encounter this problem: #!/usr/bin/python -U # -*- coding: utf-8 -*- import os, sys, string, codecs (e,d,sr,sw) = codecs.lookup('utf-8') sys.stdout = sw(sys.stdout) And that seems to take care of everything. I got that hint from reportlab.com. And later on... Of course, it always turns out that there's an easier way to do anything that I write in python. Bob Ippolito lets me know in the comments that this works as well: import codecs, sys sys.stdout = codecs.getwriter('utf-8')(sys.stdout) comments (1) # posted 8:57 pm (uct-6) |
