Python decode/encode

[Rémi Deletrain]

Hi everybody,

I try to encode a string utf-8

myString = "" === Pr \ u00e9sentation of ... === ""

with "\ u00e9", which is the letter "é"

but I happens by no means has transform my string properly.

I decode with "cp1252"

and again with "latin1"

with variable myString I have no problem, but on a much longer text I have another problem. I think there are different encoding type in the text that I have ...

In the end I just want a "utf-8" format.

I tried with unidecode module, but suddenly I lost all the accents that are important in this text.

someone a solution?

I'd take a look at the codecs module in Python, certainly if you're looking to read/write the data from file. We're doing a lot of localisation for language support at the moment

            with codecs.open(textfilepath, 'w', encoding='utf8') as fp:

                fp.write(text_to_write)

                fp.close()

cheers

Mark

Hi Mark,

My file is xml. I use ElementTree for get data.

And for get text data I just have myText = myElement.text

I don't know other wy for xml file...

[Mark Jackson]

In that case can you not just use the internal encoding?

ET.ElementTree(testtag).write('testunicode.xml',encoding="UTF-8",xml_declaration=True)

I tried this way but it does not work properly...

I have always problem with encode format

It doesn't sound like libraries will solve your problem, but rather gaining a deeper understanding of encoding and strings. There are some very good PyCon conferences that I think should touch on what you are looking to understand.
