I have tried now to take away printing to terminal and just keeping the writing to a .txt file to disk (which is what the scripts purpose is):
with open(filepath,"a") as f: for card in cardlist: f.write(card+"\n") The file it writes to exists and im just appending to it, but when i run the script trough eclipse, all is fine. When i run in terminal i get this error instead: File "K:\dev\python\webscraping\kanji_anki.py", line 69, in savefile f.write(card+"\n") UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\u898b' in position 3 2: ordinal not in range(128) On Tuesday, February 12, 2013 12:01:19 PM UTC+1, Andrew Berg wrote: > On 2013.02.12 04:43, Magnus Pettersson wrote: > > > I am using Eclipse to write my python scripts and when i run them from > > inside eclipse they work fine without errors. > > > > > > But almost in every script that handle some form of special characters like > > swedish åäö and chinese characters etc i get Unicode errors when running > > the script externally with python.exe or pythonw.exe (but the scripts run > > completely fine from within Eclipse (standard pydev projects, python2.7).
