Hi! I have a problem with urllib2 open() function. My application is receiving the following request - as I can see in the developement server console it is properly encoded:
[27/Mar/2009 22:22:29] "GET /[blahblah]/Europa_%C5%9Arodkowa/5 HTTP/ 1.1" 500 54572 Then it uses this request parameter as name variable to build wikipedia link, and tries to acces it with following code: url = u'http://pl.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=' + name + '&printable=yes' opener = urllib2.build_opener() opener.addheaders = [('User-agent', 'Mozilla/5.0')] wikipage = opener.open(url) Unfortunately, the last line fails with the exception: UnicodeEncodeError 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\u015a' in position 30: ordinal not in range(128). Using urlencode(url) results in TypeError "not a valid non-string sequence or mapping object", and quote(url) fails because of KeyError u'\u015a' . How can I properly parse this request to make it work (ie. acces http://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Europa_%C5%9Arodkowa)? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
