问题
I'm writing a little Python script that parses word docs and writes to a csv file. However, some of the docs have some utf-8 characters that my script can't process correctly.
Fancy quotes show up quite often (u'\u201c'). Is there a quick and easy (and smart) way of replacing those with the neutral ascii-supported quotes, so I can just write line.encode('ascii')
to the csv file?
I have tried to find the left quote and replace it:
val = line.find(u'\u201c')
if val >= 0: line[val] = '"'
But to no avail:
TypeError: 'unicode' object does not support item assignment
Is what I've described a good strategy? Or should I just set up the csv to support utf-8 (though I'm not sure if the application that will be reading the CSV wants utf-8)?
Thank you
回答1:
You can use the Unidecode package to automatically convert all Unicode characters to their nearest pure ASCII equivalent.
from unidecode import unidecode
line = unidecode(line)
This will handle both directions of double quotes as well as single quotes, em dashes, and other things that you probably haven't discovered yet.

You can't assign to a string, as they are immutable, and can't be changed.
You can, however, just use the regex library, which might be the most flexible way to do this:
import re
newline = re.sub(u'\u201c','"',line)
