It’s a very long time since I have had to deal with binary code translations, but when dealing with HTML and JSON with Python, I need to get to grips with it. The € symbol for instance requires the extended character set support and rss should be written in utf-8. This page collects the notes I made in learning about Python’s support for unicode/ascii translations.

Here are the links,

  1. https://docs.python.org/2/howto/unicode.html, the documentation
  2. http://www.pythoncentral.io/python-unicode-encode-decode-strings-python-2x/, a bit easier to read.
  3. And docs in 2019, https://www.pythoncentral.io/python-unicode-encode-decode-strings-python-2x/

HTML

Was HTMLParser/html unavailable 6 years ago? It seems to solve the problem of translating html codes into ascii, sing the unescape function. See displayHTML, which I got from stackoverflow.

  1. It’s not working for me. Komodo has a preblom with the quotes you used and the – symbol you used also when I fixed them it was giving me an errorThis one:Traceback (most recent call last): File C:\Users\Eoin\Documents\Python\EasyGUI\eg.py , line 20, in harv = harv + har[i][‘Result’] + + har[i][‘FirstURL’] + \n\n’KeyError: Result’

  2. I cam across HTMLParser module yesterday, this is a much neater solution, if it works on the ello code, which is what made me write the original piece. The title should be changed, but I may do that another day.
