rss script error

Posted by m_albert at February 20. 2008

Hi,

I've installed the rss parser script which works with the BBC webite but when I try to read a French website I get this kind of error:

UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' coded can't encode character u'\xe9' in position 24: ordinal not in range (128).

I suspect it has something to do with Frech accents not being recognized.

What can i do to solve the problem?

Thanks Michael

You can try adding this line at the very begining of the script :

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

I'm not sure it will solve you're problem it's worth trying.

The #-*-coding: utf-8-*- line is already there but it doesn't help.

Any other ideas?

Thanks

Just wondering, what site are you trying to use?
