Hello
I'm trying to read pages from Amazon JP, whose web pages are
supposed to be encoded in ShiftJIS, and decode contents into Unicode
to keep Python happy:
www.amazon.co.jp
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=Shift_JIS"
/>
But this doesn't work:
======
m = try.search(the_page)
How can you have name "try"? It's a reserved word!
if m:
#UnicodeEncodeError: 'charmap' codec can't encode characters in
position 49-55: character maps to <undefined>
title = m.group(1).decode('shift_jis').strip()
======
Has someone successfully accessed Shift-JIS-encoded Japanese contents
with Python?
No problem here:
>>> import urllib
>>> data = urllib.urlopen("http://www.amazon.co.jp/";).read()
>>> decoded_data = data.decode("shift-jis")
>>>
