I was using the codecs module for reading a text file and extracting information from it. My code is as follows:
import codecs
handle = codecs.open('try.txt',encoding="utf-8")
f1 = handle.read()
# Do further stuff with f1
However, it is giving me the following error:
UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf8' codec can't decode byte 0xea in position 628: invalid continuation byte
Can anybody help me on this? Thanks in advance! :)

My code: data = pd.read_csv('Downloads/samplefile.csv',low_memory=False, encoding='utf-8')
I receive the error: UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xd1 in position 258663: invalid continuation byte
Any help is appreciated.
Your data file might NOT be encoded in UTF-8, because the character 0xd1 is Ñ in the encoding ISO8859-1.
So, use the line below:
data = pd.read_csv('Downloads/samplefile.csv',low_memory=False, encoding='iso8859-1')
import xlrd
import pandas as pd
data = pd.read_csv("/Milk_Papers_Estimated_Class.csv")
path ='/Milk_Papers_Estimated_Class.csv'
I experience an error in the following code while trying to run the .csv file.:
UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xe2 in position 504: invalid continuation byte.
I do not know why I am facing this error.Can anyone help me out with this?
By default the read_csv takes utf-8 as the encoder.
data = pd.read_csv("/Milk_Papers_Estimated_Class.csv", encoding='latin-1')
Try giving the encoding as latin-1
Might work:")
I am practicing pandas and i have next issue:
UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xa0 in position
7190: invalid start byte
So its simple tryout of csv readout:
csvfile = open('file.csv', 'r', encoding="UTF-8")
csv_pandas = pd.read_csv(csvfile, sep=",")
print(csv_pandas)
However it works properly with csv module. With csv.reader i dont get same error.
Whats going on? And where can i learn more about charmap and encodings with python?
p.s. I tried out by removing encoding="UTF-8" and i got similar error:
UnicodeDecodeError: 'charmap' codec can't decode byte 0x9d in position
140378: character maps to
my code is so simple. in handling string on python i don't know the unicode thing. sad.
f = open("~161209.txt", "r")
f.read()
I don't know how to fix this
error code is below:
UnicodeDecodeError: 'cp949' codec can't decode byte 0xec in position 121: illegal multibyte sequence
Python 3 provides encoding support directly through open:
f = open("~161209.txt", "r", encoding="utf-8")
For older versions, you have to use the codecs module or io.open function.
I have a problem with writing to file in unicode. I am using python 2.7.3. It gives me such an error:
UnicodeEncodeError: 'charmap' codec can't encode character u'\u2019' in position 1006: character maps to <undefined>
Here is a sample of my code: error is on line: f3.write(text)
f = codecs.open("PopupMessages.strings", encoding='utf-16')
text = f.read()
print text
f.close()
f3 = codecs.open("3.txt", encoding='utf-16', mode='w')
f3.write(text)
f3.close()
I tried to use 'utf-8' and 'utf-8-sig' also, but it doesn't helped me. I have such symbols in my source file to read: ['\",;?*&$##%] and symbols in different languages.
How can I solve this issue? Please help, I read info on stackoverflow firstly, but it didn't helped me.
delete this line:
print text
and it should work
