来自CSV文件的Python 2.7编码

Question

I have a problem with Python 2.7 encoding I have a csv file with some french characters (mangé, parlé, prêtre ...), the code I'm using is the following:

import pandas as pd
path_dataset = 'P:\\Version_python\\Dataset\\data_set - Copy.csv'
dataset = pd.read_csv(path_dataset, sep=';')

for lab, row in dataset.iterrows():
    print(row['Summary'])

I tried to add encoding to read_csv() , it didn't work. I tried unicode , decode (UTF-8) ... Nothing worked.

Then I tried to concatenate those extracted words with some text, and I got a utf-8 error, I don't know how to deal with that. Thanks

Answer 1

Here is a list of standard python encodings

Standard Python 2.7 encodings

utf-8 does not work but you can try some other encodings on the link above.

Just tested latin_1 works. So the code should be:

dataset = pd.read_csv(path_dataset, sep=';', encoding='latin_1')

Answer 2

You can use codecs in python2.7

import codecs
file = codecs.open(filename, encoding="utf-8")
