Print unicode string to console OK but fails when redirect to a file. How to fix?

Question

I have Python 2.7.1 on a Simplified-Chinese version of Windows XP, and I have a program like this(windows_prn_utf8.py):

#!/usr/bin/env python
# -*- coding: u         


        

Answer 1

You can encode it to utf-8 before you write it to file.

f.write("电".encode("utf8"))
