The title has a à (capital A with tilde) character in it, and there is no corresponding ascii character. So you can't encode that string into ascii. You can encode it into utf8 or whatever, but are you on an OS that recognizes utf8 in filenames? Maybe you want to transcode it somehow. Otherwise you may be asking for trouble if some of those html strings have control characters and stuff in them. Also, if you're scraping web pages, you may have an easier time with BeautifulSoup (search web for it) than HTMLparser. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
