hello MRAB and google forum
I feel somewhat excluded by this salutaton, as I'm not MRAB and I don't
read this on Google Groups, but I'll answer anyway ;-).
Well, I am MRAB, and I'm not on Google Groups either! :-)
i have a sort of decode error it seems now very close to the line in my script
which you solved for my 2 previous encode errors in python 3
the error now is
**************
UnicodeDecodeError; 'utf-8' can't decode byte 0xb0 in position 83064: invalid
start byte
[...]
would the solution fix be this?
**********************
data = f.read(), decoding = "utf-8" #OR
data = f.read(), decoding = "ascii" # is this the right fix or previous or both
wrong??
0xB0 isn't a valid ASCII character, so you'll get a decoding error for
open(..., encoding="ascii"), too.
You will have to find out the correct encoding for your file and use
that.
I concur; it appears that the file isn't encoded in UTF-8, or ASCII
either (valid ASCII is also valid UTF-8).
