I want to write to text from a list. But encoding not working & writing like bits.
with open('freq.txt', 'w') as f:
for item in freq:
f.write("%s\n" % item.encode("utf-8"))
Output:
b'okul'
b'y\xc4\xb1l\xc4\xb1'
Expected:
okul
yılı
If you are using Python3, you can declare your desired encoding in the call to open :
with open('freq.txt', 'w', encoding='utf-8') as f:
for item in freq:
f.write("%s\n" % item)
If you don't provide an encoding it will default to the encoding returned by locale.getpreferredencoding() .
The problem with your code is that '%s\\n' % item.encode('utf-8')
encodes item
as bytes but then the string formatting operation implicitly calls str
on the bytes, which results in the bytes' repr being used to construct the string.
>>> s = 'yılı'
>>> bs = s.encode('utf-8')
>>> bs
b'y\xc4\xb1l\xc4\xb1'
>>> # See how the "b" is *inside* the string.
>>> '%s' % bs
"b'y\\xc4\\xb1l\\xc4\\xb1'"
Making the format string a bytes
literal avoids this problem
>>> b'%s' % bs
b'y\xc4\xb1l\xc4\xb1'
but then writing to the file would fail because you cannot write bytes to a file opened in text mode. If you really want to encode manually you would have to do this:
# Open the file in binary mode.
with open('freq.txt', 'wb') as f:
for item in freq:
# Encode the entire string before writing to the file.
f.write(("%s\n" % item).encode('utf-8'))
import codecs
with codecs.open("lol", "w", "utf-8") as file:
file.write('Okul')
file.write('yılı')
