I get this whenever I encounter a non-ascii character in a non-unicode string:
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xd1 in position 23: ordinal not in range(128) The string in question is "... ESPA\xd1OL ..." I completely understand why I get the error, and my solution will be to simply convert to unicode (since the code that uses the string is unicode ready). I am wondering if anyone knows where I can find a mapping from this particular extended ascii code (where \xd1 is Ñ), to the corresponding unicode characters.
