UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xef' in position 0: ordinal not in range(128)

Question

I want to parse my XML document. So I have stored my XML document as below

class XMLdocs(db.Expando):  
   id = db.IntegerProperty()    
   name=db.StringPro         


        

Answer 1

The problem is that you're trying to print an unicode character to a possibly non-unicode terminal. You need to encode it with the 'replace option before printing it, e.g. print ch.encode(sys.stdout.encoding, 'replace').
