I just spent a whole day trying to read an xml file and I got stuck
with the following error:
Exception Type: UnicodeEncodeError
Exception Value: 'charmap' codec can't encode characters in position
164-167: character maps to <undefined>
Exception Location: C:\Python25\lib\encodings\cp1252.py in encode,
line 12
The string that could not be encoded/decoded was: H_C="ΚΙΝΑ" A_C
After some tests I can say with confidence that the error comes up
when python finds those greek characters after H_C="
The code that reads the file goes like this :
from xml.etree import ElementTree as ET
def read_xml(request):
data = open('live.xml', 'r').read()
data = data.decode('utf-8', 'replace')
data = ET.XML(data)
I've tried all the combinations of str.decode str.encode I could
think of but nothing.
Can someone please help ?
