To give an explanation: when you have:
mystring = 'some string encoded with some codec' myunicode = u'%s' % mystring Since you are telling python that you want a unicode object from a string object, python will try do decode (convert) `mystring` with the default encoding, since you didn't explicit what was the encoding. It happens that on Linux the python default encoding is 'ascii': >>> import sys >>> sys.getdefaultencoding() 'ascii' and if the string has some bytes not recognized by the ascii codec you get an exception. On Windows just check what you have as the default encoding, I am sure you have a different codec - (I don't have windows to test) Ricardo On Wed, May 15, 2013 at 1:10 PM, Yebach <[email protected]> wrote: > Thanx > > I removed the 'u' infront of string and it works > > thanx again > > > On Wednesday, May 15, 2013 11:29:34 AM UTC+2, Ricardo Pedroso wrote: >> >> > Thank you for showing interest in resolving this.
