Hi, I am having some encoding problems when I first parse stuff from a non-english website using BeautifulSoup and then write the results to a txt file.
I have the text both as a normal (text) and as a unicode string (utext): print repr(text) 'Branie zak\xc2\xb3adnik\xc3\xb3w' print repr(utext) u'Branie zak\xb3adnik\xf3w' print text or print utext (fileSoup.prettify() also shows 'wrong' symbols): Branie zak³adników Now I am trying to save this to a file but I never get the encoding right. Here is what I tried (+ lot's of different things with encode, decode...): outFile=open(filePath,"w") outFile.write(text) outFile.close() outFile=codecs.open( filePath, "w", "UTF8" ) outFile.write(utext) outFile.close() Thanks!! -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
