执行期间发生Python错误

Question

I'm trying to fetch website's data using beautiful soup, its running perfect for first 4-5 queries but after that I get this error:

Description:  Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./r.py", line 11, in <module>
print "Description: ",k.text
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\u2013' in position 16: ordinal not in range(128)

Here is my code:

#!/usr/bin/python
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
import urllib2
response = urllib2.urlopen('http://websitename.com')
html = response.read()
soup = BeautifulSoup(html)
for i in  soup.findAll("div", {"class": "ParentDiv"}):
        for j in  i.findAll("a",limit=1):
                print "Name is: ",j.text
        for k in i.findAll("div", {"class":"description"},limit=1):
                print "Description: ",k.text
        for l in i.findAll("div", {"class":"Information"},limit=1):
                print "Addition info",l.text

Answer 1

Decode something that is in your html variable, because at the moment BF considers it ascii, and it apparently isn't.

Decodings are pain in the back - if you dont have to use urllib, try requests , usually they are able to deocde data for you.
