I have written a program (Python 2.7) which reads a filename via
tkFileDialog.askopenfilename() (was a good hint here, other thread).
This filename may contain non-ASCII characters (German Umlauts).
In this case my program crashes with:
File "S:\python\fexit.py", line 1177, in url_encode
u += '%' + c.encode("hex").upper()
File "C:\Python27\lib\encodings\hex_codec.py", line 24, in hex_encode
output = binascii.b2a_hex(input)
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xf6' in position 0:
ordinal not in range(128)
This is my encoding function:
def url_encode(s):
u = ''
for c in list(s):
if match(r'[_=:,;<>()+.\w\-]',c):
u += c
else:
u += '%' + c.encode("hex").upper()
return u
As I am Python newbie I have not quite understood the Python character
encoding scheme :-}
Where can I find a good introduction of this topic?
I would also appreciate a concrete solution for my problem :-)
