xlwt模块 - 保存xls unicode错误

Question

I'm trying to save some text with xlwt module, creating new xls document and saving text there.So far it worked great, until I came across unicode text: for example simple string '80°'.

When I call book.save('simple.xls') I get UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc2 .Is there any way I can avoid that?

Answer 1

Instead of writing a regular string, write a Unicode string. For example, instead of

ws.write(r, c, '80°')

do

ws.write(r, c, '80°'.decode('cp1252'))

(Of course, pick the appropriate encoding for your data.)
