Hello Tutors, Because a website was giving me issues with unicode
character I created a function to force the encoding. I am not sure it
is the correct way to handle these things.
def reader(fobject, encoding='UTF-8'):
'''Read a fileobject with specified encoding, defaults UTF-8.'''
r = codecs.getreader(encoding)
data = r(fobject)
return data
I would call it like reader(urllib2.urlopen(someurl), 'somencoding').
Now I am looking for advice if this is the proper way of dealing with
these type of issues? Is there better practice maybe?
Many thanks
Sander
