Hi.
I used urllib2 to load a html-document through http. But my problem
is:
The loaded contents are returned as binary data, that means that every
character is displayed like lÀÃt, for example. How can I get the
contents as normal text?
My guess is the html is utf-8 encoded - your sample looks like
utf-8-interpreted-as-latin-1. Try
contents = f.read().decode('utf-8')

My script was:
import urllib2
req = urllib2.Request(url)
f = urllib2.urlopen(req)
contents = f.read()
print contents
f.close()
Thanks!
