Thank you to both of you (Marc and Tino).
I feel a bit stupid right now, because as both of you said, encoding
my source string to utf-8 do not produce an exception when I pass it
to urllib.quote() and is what it should be.
I was certain that this created an error sooner, and id not tried it
again.
The result of 2 days making random changes and hoping it works. I
know, reflection should have primed. My bad...
The same goes for my treatment in the iteration over the request
result.
I now have an
>> line=line.encode('utf-8')
and no errors (as long as I don't try to print this to stdout, which I
understand).
So, I'm now really getting back an unicode string that I can handle as
such.
I really am confused about what I was trying to do...
I cannot understand what I did that caused those errors, because the
state the script is now correspond to what I have in mind originally.
>>BTW: ``line.strip()`` removes all whitespace at both ends *including
>>newlines*, so there are no '\n' to replace anymore.
Not exactly...
It's that I receive a string, with 2 literal characters in it: "\" and
"n".
What I (want to) do here is that I replace those 2 characters with 1
chr(10).
>>And functions in the
>>`string` module that are also implemented as method on `str` or `unicode`
>>are deprecated.
I actually had read that, but not modified my code.
Thank to point it out
Anyway, thanks again to both of you.
I'm quite happy to see it working the way I intended.
