Please have a look at this little script:
#!/usr/bin/python
import sys
import codecs
fileHandle = codecs.open(sys.argv[1], 'r', 'utf-8')
fileString = fileHandle.read()
print fileString
if I call it from a Bash shell like this
$ ./test.py testfile.utf8.txt
it works just fine, but when I try to pipe the output to another process
("|") or into a file (">"), e.g. like this
$ ./test.py testfile.utf8.txt | cat
I get an error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./test.py", line 6, in ?
print fileString
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xe4' in
position 538: ordinal not in range(128)
I absolutely don't know what's the problem here, can you help?
Thanks,
Rehceb
