Hello, ---- snip ---- >>> import logging >>> logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG) >>> x='\xfe\x9f\xce\xc3\xa1\x00\xff\x01' >>> x '\xfe\x9f\xce\xc3\xa1\x00\xff\x01' >>> print x ���á� >>> logging.info(x) Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python2.6/logging/__init__.py", line 773, in emit stream.write(fs % msg.encode("UTF-8")) UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xfe in position 10: ordinal not in range(128) >>> logging.info(x, extra={'encoding':'utf-8'}) Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python2.6/logging/__init__.py", line 773, in emit stream.write(fs % msg.encode("UTF-8")) UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf8' codec can't decode byte 0xfe in position 10: unexpected code byte
