Could you please help me with special characters saving to file. I need to write the string u'hyv\xe4' to file. I would like to open file and to have line 'hyvä'
import codecs word= u'hyv\xe4' F=codecs.open(/opt/finnish.txt, 'w+','Latin-1') F.writelines(item.encode('Latin-1')) F.writelines(item.encode('utf8')) F.writelines(item) F.close() All three writelines gives the same result in finnish.txt: hyv\xe4 i would like to find 'hyvä'. regards, gintare -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
