Matthew Barnett added the comment:
The bytestring literal isn't valid. It starts with b" and later on has an
unescaped " followed by more characters.
Also, the usual way to decode by using the .decode method.
I get this:
>>> content = b"+1911\' rel=\'stylesheet\' type=\'text/css\' />\n<link
>>> rel=\"alternate\" type=\"application/rss+xml\""
>>> content.decode("utf-7", "strict")
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<pyshell#10>", line 1, in <module>
content.decode("utf-7", "strict")
File "C:\Python33\lib\encodings\utf_7.py", line 12, in decode
return codecs.utf_7_decode(input, errors, True)
UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf7' codec can't decode bytes in position 0-5: partial
character in shift sequence
