'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xf3'

[oziko]

Hi, I get a piece of code of ogg123.py from the pyogg site, this is the
code:
*************** *************** *
ogg_file = sys.argv[1]

vorbis_file=ogg .vorbis.VorbisF ile(ogg_file)
comentarios = vorbis_file.com ment()
recognized_comm ents = ('Artist', 'Album', 'Title', 'Version',
'Organization', 'Genre', 'Description',
'Date', 'Location', 'Copyright', 'Vendor')

comment_dict = {}
for com in recognized_comm ents:
comment_dict[string.upper(co m)] = '%s: %%s' % com

known_keys = comment_dict.ke ys()

for key, val in comentarios.ite ms():
if key in known_keys:
print comment_dict[key] % val
else:
continue
#print "Unknown comment: %s" % val
*************** *************

When I run int I get this error:

Album: Trapos
Vendor: Xiph.Org libVorbis I 20020717
Artist: Attaque 77
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./ogg2sql.py", line 51, in ?
print comment_dict[key] % val
UnicodeEncodeEr ror: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xf3' in
position 15: ordinal not in range(128)
The title of the song has especial carateres Title= Perfección, it is in
espanish. I put at the begining og the scrpit the encodign coment

#!/usr/bin/env python
# -*- coding: UTF8 -*-
As you see the script get the comment og a vorbis file, and all the
comments are in unicode.

So I do not understan why the script uses an ascii codec, Am I not using
Unicode coding?

The strings use Unicode, but they have to be encoded somehow to be
outputted. The default encoding is ASCII, which doesn't support all of
those fancy Unicode characters. Figure out what encoding your terminal
is expecting (probably utf-8) and encode all strings in that when
they're outputted or set a default encoding.
