It is possible with
print unicode(html)
Question
I try to print a PyQt4.QtCore.QString object:
print str(type(html))
print str(html)
However, I get the following error:
<class 'PyQt4.QtCore.QString'>
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "download.py", line 23, in <module>
print str(html)
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\u2039' in position 4165: ordinal not in range(128)
What is going wrong here?
Solution
It is possible with
print unicode(html)
OTHER TIPS
In python 2.x str
returns an ascii
string. So if there is a unicode character in your input, it can not be converted. The unicode
function serves you instead then.
If you use for example python 3.3, str
function would have an encoding
parameter which is utf8
by default. Therefore you won't see the error.
