`ascii' 编解码器无法在 206 位强制执行字符 u'\•'：

Question

I get this error when I try to execute my python script on my Ubuntu 20.4 homeserver:

`ascii' codec can't enforce character u'\•' in position 206: ordinal not in range (128)

Answer 1

You should read the Python Unicode HOWTO . This error is thefirst example .

Basically, you shouldn't str to convert from Unicode to encoded text/bytes.

Instead, use .encode() to encode the string:

text = 'some_str'.encode('utf-8').strip()
