You're right. It does work. I forgot to assign the result to a variable:
text = text.encode("ascii", "ignore")
Thanks.

Try saving text with
assert type(text) == unicode
with open(filename, "w") as f:
f.write(text.encode("ascii", "ignore"))
If that fails please give the exact traceback. Don't paraphrase, use cut-
and-paste!
If the above works you can preserve your precious data including non-ascii
characters with
import io
assert type(text) == unicode
with io.open(filename, "w") as f:
f.write(text)

Please show us the relevant parts of your code so we can properly diagnose
the issue. Using text.encode("ascii", "ignore") should absolutely work. You
could also just write the file in UTF-8 if you don't absolutely need ascii
by using text.encode("utf-8").

[Tutor] changing unicode to ascii
I was trying to write text to a file and got the following error:
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xa0' in position
5495: ordinal not in range(128)
I tried several things I found online, such as:
text.encode("ascii", "ignore")
which gave me the same error
and
text.replace("\xa0", "")
again, UnicodeEncodeError
I tried
text.decode("ascii", "ignore")
and got the same result.
I'm using Python 2.7, so there's some special technique for this version?
I think the utf-8 data is unnecessary; I can strip it if I can't convert it to
ascii.
Of course, I can't figure out how to strip it either.
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks,
Ben

Re: [Tutor] automate add-to-cart with python
Hi, Now I just have to figure out how to write the code with the selenium > module. > > Install the Firefox extension/add-on "Selenium IDE" which will help with that too: http://seleniumhq.org/download/ http://seleniumhq.org/docs/02_selenium_ide.jsp# It's effectively a browser macro recorder which can emit the action recording in multiple languages, including 2 flavours of Python (depending on how you're using Selenium.) You can copy/paste the actions directly from the recorder or export them as Python. Set the clipboard format as "Python" under the "Options"->"Clipboard format" menu, then select some recorded commands (click, shift-click as per usual and then ctrl-c to copy and ctrl-v to paste, or to export them click "File"->"Export test-case as" and pick one of the Python options.

It worked this way and I was able to install pip. And I got selenium to work. Apparently the problem is that selenium isn't compatible with Python 2.5, so I installed 2.7 and when I typed "import selenium," it worked! Now I just have to figure out how to write the code with the selenium module. Thanks for your help, everyone.

However your previous similar questions regarding this was apparently in the context of some sort of machine learning or data analysis context, and was using scikit or some other addon package (pandas?) for Python. So I suspect your question really is (supposing you're using the Python "Pandas" package), "how do I read a text file into a Pandas dataframe?" Can you please clarify what you're really asking and whether the above question is still in the context of some other package? You must understand that Python is a general purpose programming language, and therefore that the idioms and ways of expressing certain things (like reading a text file "into" Python) in the base language will be different from how one would do it if you're using a specific specialized package.
