How to Decode this encoded file using python?

Answer 1

Try this instead:

import urllib.request
response = urllib.request.urlopen('https://drive.google.com/u/0/uc?id=1L4zhc1Vdpdy78t8CgZgA165siRtNaEsQ&export=download')
html = response.read().decode('utf8')
print(html)

This works for me

Answer 2


import urllib.request
response = urllib.request.urlopen('https://drive.google.com/u/0/uc?id=1L4zhc1Vdpdy78t8CgZgA165siRtNaEsQ&export=download')
html = response.read()
decoded_text=html.decode('utf8')
print(decoded_text)

Answer 3

import urllib.request
response = urllib.request.urlopen('https://drive.google.com/file/d/1L4zhc1Vdpdy78t8CgZgA165siRtNaEsQ/view?usp=sharing')
html = response.read().decode(encoding='UTF-8',errors='strict')
print(html)

Update - This is tested and working

Install the PyDrive wrapper & import libraries.

!pip install -U -q PyDrive

import libraries

from pydrive.auth import GoogleAuth
from pydrive.drive import GoogleDrive
from google.colab import auth
from oauth2client.client import GoogleCredentials

Authenticate and create the PyDrive client.

auth.authenticate_user()
gauth = GoogleAuth()
gauth.credentials = GoogleCredentials.get_application_default()
drive = GoogleDrive(gauth)

Download a file based on its file ID.

downloaded = drive.CreateFile({'id':'1L4zhc1Vdpdy78t8CgZgA165siRtNaEsQ'}) # replace the id with id of file you want to access
downloaded.GetContentFile('indian_histpry.txt')

Read file content and print

with open('indian_histpry.txt', "r") as file1:
    FileContent = file1.readlines()

print(FileContent)
