UnicodeDecodeError

UnicodeDecodeError: ‘ascii‘ codec can‘t decode byte 0xe9 in position 0: ordinal not in range(128)

（Python2.7）

原因:

str  -> decode(‘the_coding_of_str‘) -> unicode
unicode -> encode(‘the_coding_you_want‘) -> str

unicode encode(编码)后 成『字节』，组成『字节串』，即 str

>>> u‘中文‘.encode(‘utf-8‘)
‘\xe4\xb8\xad\xe6\x96\x87‘
>>> len(u‘中文‘.encode(‘utf-8‘))
6　

>>> type(u‘中文‘)
<type ‘unicode‘>

如果对 str 进行 encode，对 unicode 进行 decode，会报错。

>>> ‘中文‘.encode(‘utf-8‘)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
