Python UnicodeEncodeError: 'charmap' codec can't encode when using GEOPY

Question

I have been fiddling with python geopy and I tried the basic commands given in the documentation. But I am getting the UnicodeEncodeError when trying the raw command(to geolocate a query to an address and coordinates)

print(location.raw)

Error UnicodeEncodeError: 'charmap' codec can't encode character '\\xa9' in position 83: character maps to <undefined>

Then I tried the other way around (To find the address corresponding to a set of coordinates)

print(location.address)    

I am getting the same error UnicodeEncodeError: 'charmap' codec can't encode character '\ā' in position 10: character maps to <undefined>

I tried print((location.address).encode("utf-8")) , now am not getting any error but the output printed is like this b'NH39, Mirz\\xc4\\x81pur

and when using print((location.raw).encode("utf-8")) I am getting error

AttributeError: 'dict' object has no attribute 'encode'

Can anyone tell me what is going on here and what I should do to get a proper output?

Edit: (After being marked as duplicate)

Based on the solution given in this problem I am reporting on how it does not solve my problem

What I wanted to know is why do I get the UnicodeEncodeError when trying out the basic sample codings given in the documentation and it did answer for that.

If I want to use it an application how do I solve the error and I cannot have the application running on separate IDE or send the output to a external file since my application will function based on the output from geopy, I want the application to run in the terminal as my other applications do.

Answer 1

The issue is that your console is not setup to correctly show the unicode characters that you are trying to print.

In Windows 7, for Python 3.3 + , you can change the code page of python console to 65001 for it to show unicode characters. In terminal run the following -

chcp 65001

Before starting python/your script.

Answer 2

print json.dumps(address_object.raw,ensure_ascii=False, encoding="utf-8").encode('utf-8')
