Changing default encoding of Python?

Here is a simpler method (hack) that gives you back the setdefaultencoding() function that was deleted from sys: import sys # sys.setdefaultencoding() does not exist, here! reload(sys) # Reload does the trick! sys.setdefaultencoding(‘UTF8’) (Note for Python 3.4+: reload() is in the importlib library.) This is not a safe thing to do, though: this is obviously … Read more

How can I transform string to UTF-8 in C#?

As you know the string is coming in as Encoding.Default you could simply use: byte[] bytes = Encoding.Default.GetBytes(myString); myString = Encoding.UTF8.GetString(bytes); Another thing you may have to remember: If you are using Console.WriteLine to output some strings, then you should also write Console.OutputEncoding = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8;!!! Or all utf8 strings will be outputed as gbk…

Correct way to define Python source code encoding

Check the docs here: “If a comment in the first or second line of the Python script matches the regular expression coding[=:]\s*([-\w.]+), this comment is processed as an encoding declaration” “The recommended forms of this expression are # -*- coding: <encoding-name> -*- which is recognized also by GNU Emacs, and # vim:fileencoding=<encoding-name> which is recognized … Read more

UnicodeEncodeError: ‘charmap’ codec can’t encode – character maps to , print function [duplicate]

I see three solutions to this: Change the output encoding, so it will always output UTF-8. See e.g. Setting the correct encoding when piping stdout in Python, but I could not get these example to work. Following example code makes the output aware of your target charset. # -*- coding: utf-8 -*- import sys print … Read more

Why should we NOT use sys.setdefaultencoding(“utf-8”) in a py script?

As per the documentation: This allows you to switch from the default ASCII to other encodings such as UTF-8, which the Python runtime will use whenever it has to decode a string buffer to unicode. This function is only available at Python start-up time, when Python scans the environment. It has to be called in … Read more
