I wrote a simple script to scrap news from yahoo and display them in
my site.
The problem is that the news are in spanish, and the text I get
doesn't show properly the spanish accents.
I guess it has something to do with encoding formats but I'm
completely ignorant of this matter.
In webpy docs I found the utf8 function, but it doesn't seem to
work...
I'd like to know if this problem is webpy related or not. This is the
code (webpy 0.3):
class news(app.page):
def GET(self):
web.header('Content-Type', 'text/html; charset=UTF-8')
from google.appengine.api import urlfetch
from BeautifulSoup import BeautifulSoup
from google.appengine.api import mail
page = urlfetch.fetch("http://ar.news.yahoo.com";, headers=
{'Content-Type': 'text/html; charset=UTF-8'})
soup = BeautifulSoup(page.content)
s=[]
block = soup('ul',{"class":"headlines"})
for i in block:
s.append(str(i))
res = ''.join(s)
#res = utils.utf8(res)
res = res.replace('"/', '"http://ar.news.yahoo.com/')
return utils.utf8(res)
