UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xa0' in position 20: ordinal not in range(128)

[Maillouski]

this is a limitation of the str() function
Solution :
in web_ui.py line 187 replace it with

--text = str(''.join(text))
++text = (''.join(text)).encode('utf-8')

Thanks! There's some python2 vs python3 differences:

python2:

>>> '\xa0'.encode('utf-8')
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xa0 in position 0: ordinal not in range(128)

vs. python3:

>>> '\xa0'.encode('utf-8')
b'\xc2\xa0'

I work:

unicode("cañete").encode('utf8')

[MuerteLee]

export PYTHONIOENCODING=utf-8

Basically, stop using str to convert from unicode to encoded text / bytes. Instead, properly use .encode() to encode the string: p.agent_info = u' '.join((agent_contact, agent_telno)).encode('utf-8').strip() Here is Full Answer — You are receiving this because you commented.

can u help?
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character '\u201c' in position 17: ordinal not in range(128)

what version python do you have?, and django version??
in python 2.7 in the head you put
line 1: # coding: utf-8
line 2: # any thing you want

What does this have to do with tracsql?

this worked for me:
export LC_ALL=de_DE.UTF-8

I got this error (UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xab' in position 15: ordinal not in range(128)) on python2 while writing shapefile._Record type data to a csv. Now this is for a few records only, have tried setting env variables as mentioned above but nothing worked, what should be the solution ?

Erroneous line:

for i in rd.shapefile_records():
writer.writerow(i)

[mrjbq7]

This is not the right project for that error, we don’t use shapefiles.

Try setting the system default encoding as utf-8 at the start of the script, so that all strings are encoded using that.

Example -

import sys
reload(sys)
sys.setdefaultencoding('utf-8')

The above should set the default encoding as utf-8 .

In most cases, the issue is that when you call str(), python uses the default character encoding to try and encode the bytes you gave it, which in your case are sometimes representations of unicode characters. To fix the problem, you have to tell python how to deal with the string you give it by using .encode('whatever_unicode'). Most of the time, you should be fine using utf-8. So, stop using str() to convert from unicode to encoded text / bytes, properly use .encode() to encode the string:,

yourstring.encode('utf-8')

For python 3.x ,there is default encoding, hence there will be no issue of encoding.
