Thanks for replying
Actually the html data that I am parsing is being rendered with UTF-8
encoding so I tried setting the default encoding as UTF-8. Just for
your information I would like to tell you that I am trying to parse
google's search results which is rendered with UTF-8 encoding. Is
there any other way to get google's search result instead of parsing
the HTML, some API which can be used with Python.
Your reply is highly appreciated but I will be thankful to you if you
can send me some code snippet or link to some other sources where I
can get more clear solution to my original problem.
Thanks
Nishant
