This is the result of transcoding a Unicode string to ASCII, where the
Unicode string contains a character that is not representable in ASCII.
This happens to me when I try to print such a character because my console
is set to ASCII.

Generally i solve the problem inserting :
# -*- coding: ISO-8859-1 -*-

This only tells Python that your sourcecode uses Latin 1 as encoding. It
doesn't affect other files or any input or output streams.

What code exactly triggers the error?

Hello Again

the code is this

for dati in range(lunghezza ):

And which of those line raised the exception? Full traceback please.

I guess it is one of the ``print``\s because `BeatifulSoup` returns
`unicode` objects which may lead to that exception when printed and the
output encoding can not be determined.

UnicodeEncodeEr ror: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xe9' in

I have solve in this way:

file_ricerca = codecs.open('ri ', 'wb', 'ISO-8859-15', 'repalce')

That is not exact what i want because instead of the 'é' i get '?' but
the loop contine.
Thanks

That should be 'replace' instead of 'repalce', I assume you just mistyped it
here. In any case, you could use 'UTF-8', which is a good default encoding
and which further allows the full range of Unicode characters.

That is not exact what i want because instead of the 'é' i get '?' but
the loop contine.

Hmmm, weird, I'd say that ISO-8859-15 should support the accented 'é'.
However, this could also be caused by how you look at the file. If the
editor you use to open it uses a different encoding, it will display
garbage.
