Hello, I am using Python 3.0b2. I have an XML file that has the unicode character '\u012b' in it, which, when parsed, causes a UnicodeEncodeError:
'charmap' codec can't encode character '\u012b' in position 26: character maps to <undefined> This happens even when I assign this character to a reference in the interpreter: Python 3.0b2 (r30b2:65106, Jul 18 2008, 18:44:17) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)] on win32 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> s = '\u012b' >>> s Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> File "C:\Python30\lib\io.py", line 1428, in write b = encoder.encode(s) File "C:\Python30\lib\encodings\cp437.py", line 19, in encode return codecs.charmap_encode(input,self.errors,encoding_map)[0] UnicodeEncodeError: 'charmap' codec can't encode character '\u012b' in position 1: character maps to <undefined> Is this a known issue, or am I doing something wrong? Here is a link to the XML file. The character is on line 600, char 54 http://rubyquiz.com/SongLibrary.xml.gz -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
