UnicodeError从文件中读取Accentuation葡萄牙语字符

Question

Preface:

It's a cold, rainy day, in mid 2016, and a developer is still having encode issues with python for not using Python 3.0. Will the great SO community help him ? I don't know, we will have to wait and see

Scope:

I have a UTF-8 encoded file that contains words with accentuation, such as CURRÍCULO and NÓS . For some reason I can't grasp, I can't manage to read them properly using Python 2.7.

Code Snippet:

import codecs

f_reader = codecs.open('PATH_TO_FILE/Data/Input/kw.txt', 'r', encoding='utf-8')

for line in f_reader:
    keywords.append(line.strip().upper())
    print line

The output I get is:

TRABALHE CONOSCO
ENVIE SEU CURRICULO
ENVIE SEU CURRÍCULO  
UnicodeEncodeError, 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xcd' in position 14: ordinal not in range(128)

Encoding, Encoding, Encoding:

I have used notepad++ to convert the file to both regular utf-8 and the one without the ByteOrderMark, and it shows me the characters just fine, without any issue. I'm using Windows, by the way, which will create files as ANSI by default.

Question:

What should I do to be able to read this file properly, including the í and ó and other accentuated characters ?

Just to make it clearer, I want to keep the accentuation on the strings I use in memory.

Update:

Here's the List of Keywords, in memory, read from the file using the code you can see.

The problem seems not to be in the reading, but in the printing. You sad

I think that includes printing to stdout . Try change the sys.output codec:

sys.stdout = codecs.getwriter("utf-8")(sys.stdout)
