Hi all,
I'm writing regarding the recent "0xc320" problem with IMDbPY.
The above notice is extremely interesting, and should be investigated:
how can it be that 0xc320 is not UTF8 encodable?
It should work; from the Python prompt:
>>> unichr(0xc320).encode('utf8')
'\xec\x8c\xa0'
Anyway, as a very fast and dirty fix (the main problem is probably some
crap in the data files), try this: after line 1181 of imdbpy2sql.py, add:
k = k.replace('\xec\x8c\xa0', '')
So that the nearby lines will become:
try:
k = k.replace('\xec\x8c\xa0', '')
t = analyze_name(k)
except IMDbParserError:
Please be aware that this fix was not tested at all, but I'm
almost sure that, at the above point, 'k' is a string encoded in utf8.
Anyway, beside the "garbage theory", I have another idea
about the source of the error, but I have to verify it later...
Bye, and let me know if it works!
