通过Python读取txt文件时出现编解码器问题

Question

Having an issue while trying to open .txt file (which contains only pure text in it) with Python 3.6 using simple open () approach:

with open('3003.txt', 'r') as myfile:
    data=myfile.read()

It gives the errortrace like that:

UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xe0 in position 182: invalid continuation byte

I used couple of googled approaches but they dont solve the deal. What should be done to solve this?

Answer 1

You can use Python 3 open() style file handler which streams bytestrings:

open('3003.txt', 'rb') as myfile:
    data=myfile.read()

Note the 'b' meaning binary mode
