Hi,
Welcome to Python tutor. Thanks for posting using text email, and for specifying both your Python version and Operating system.
I am teaching myself programming in python and assistance with UnicodeDecodeError I am trying to scrap text from a website using Python 2.7 in windows 8 and i am getting this error *"**UnicodeDecodeError: 'charmap codec can't encode character u'\u2014 in position 11231 character maps to <undefined>"* *How do i resolve? Pls assist.*
You can start by posting the whole error message, including the stack trace. Then you probably should include an appropriate segment of your code.
The message means that you've got some invalid characters that you're trying to convert. That can either be that the data is invalid, or that you're specifying the wrong encoding, directly or implicitly.
