Hi!
I'm struggling with the conversion of a UTF-8 string to latin-1. As far
as I know the way to go is to decode the UTF-8 string to unicode and
then encode it back again to latin-1?
So I tried:
'K\xc3\xb6ni'.decode('utf-8') # 'K\xc3\xb6ni' should be 'König',
contains a german 'umlaut'
but failed since python assumes every string to decode to be ASCII?
How can I convert this string to latin-1?
How would you write a function like:
def encode_string(string, from_encoding, to_encoding):
#????
Best regards,
Noel
