Edit: http://pastebin.com/W4iG3tjS - the file
I have a text file encoded in utf8 with some Cyrillic text it. To load it, I use the following code:
import codecs
fopen = codecs.open('thefile', 'r', encoding='utf8')
fread = fopen.read()
fread
dumps the file on the screen all unicodish (escape sequences). print fread
displays it in readable form (ASCII I guess).
I then try to split it and write it to an empty file with no encoding:
a = fread.split()
for l in a:
print>>dasFile, l
But I get the following error message: UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode characters in position 0-13: ordinal not in range(128)
Is there a way to dump fread.split()
into a file? How can I get rid of this error?
Since you've opened and read the file via codecs.open()
, it's been decoded to Unicode. So to output it you need to encode it again, presumably back to UTF-8.
for l in a:
dasFile.write(l.encode('utf-8'))
print is going to use the default encoding, which is normally "ascii". So you see that error with print. But you can open a file and write directly to it.
a = fopen.readlines() # returns a list of lines already, with line endings intact
# do something with a
dasFile.writelines(a) # doesn't add line endings, expects them to be present already.
assuming the lines in a are encoded already.
PS. You should also investigate the io
module.
