Usepythonto process Chinese,When reading filesor messages, if garbled characters are found (Stringprocessing, read and write files,print), what most people do is to call encode/decode fordebuggingwithout thinking clearly about why garbled characters appear. Today we will discuss how to deal with encoding problems.
Note: The following discussion is for the Python2.x version and has not been tested under Py3k
The most common errors during debugging
Error 1
Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 1, in UnicodeDecodeError: ‘ascii‘ codec can‘t decode byte 0xe6 in position 0: ordinal not in range(128)
Error 2
Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 1, in File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/encodings/utf_8.py", line 16, in decode return codecs.utf_8_decode(input, errors, True) UnicodeEncodeError: ‘ascii‘ codec can‘t encode characters in position 0-1: ordinal not in range(128)
First of all
We must have a general concept, understandCharacter set, character encoding
ASCII | Unicode | UTF-8 | etc.
Character encoding notes: ASCII, Unicode and UTF-8
str and unicode are both subclasses of basestring
So there is a way to determine whether it is a string
def is_str(s): return isinstance(s, basestring)
Str and unicode conversion
str -> decode('the_coding_of_str') -> unicode unicode -> encode('the_coding_you_want') -> str
Difference
str is a byte string, encoded by unicode
Declaration method composed of the following bytes
>>> s = ‘中文‘ s = u‘中文‘.encode(‘utf-8‘) >>> type(‘中文‘)
Find the length (return the number of bytes)
>>> u‘中文‘.encode(‘utf-8‘) ‘\xe4\xb8\xad\xe6\x96\x87‘ >>> len(u‘中文‘.encode(‘utf-8‘)) 6
Unicode is the real string, composed of characters
Declaration method
>>> s = u‘中文‘ >>> s = ‘中文‘.decode(‘utf-8‘) >>> s = unicode(‘中文‘, ‘utf-8‘) >>> type(u‘中文‘)
Find the length (return the number of characters), what you really want to use in the logic
>>> u‘中文‘ u‘\u4e2d\u6587‘ >>> len(u‘中文‘) 2
Understand what you need to deal with str is still unicode, use the right processing method (str.decode/unicode.encode)
The following is the method to determine whether it is unicode/str
>>> isinstance(u‘中文‘, unicode) True >>> isinstance(‘中文‘, unicode) False >>> isinstance(‘中文‘, str) True >>> isinstance(u‘中文‘, str) False
Simple principle: do not use encode for str. Do not use decode for unicode (in fact, you can encode str. See the end for details. To ensure simplicity, it is not recommended)
>>> ‘中文‘.encode(‘utf-8‘) Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 1, in UnicodeDecodeError: ‘ascii‘ codec can‘t decode byte 0xe4 in position 0: ordinal not in range(128) >>> u‘中文‘.decode(‘utf-8‘) Traceback (most recent call last): File " ", line 1, in File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/encodings/utf_8.py", line 16, in decode return codecs.utf_8_decode(input, errors, True) UnicodeEncodeError: ‘ascii‘ codec can‘t encode characters in position 0-1: ordinal not in range(128)
For different encoding conversions, use unicode as the intermediate encoding
#s是code_A的str s.decode(‘code_A‘).encode(‘code_B‘)
File processing, IDE and console
Processing process, you can use it like this, think of python as a pool, an entrance, and an exit
At the entrance, all are converted to unicode , all in the pool are processed with unicode, and then converted to the target encoding at the exit (of course, there are exceptions, and specific encodings are used in the processing logic)
Read the file, external input encoding, decode into unicode for processing (Internal encoding, unified unicode) Encode is converted into the required target encoding and written to the target output (file or console)
The IDE and console report errors because the encoding is inconsistent with the IDE's own encoding when printing
When outputting, convert the encoding to a consistent one and you can output normally
>>> print u‘中文‘.encode(‘gbk‘) ???? >>> print u‘中文‘.encode(‘utf-8‘) 中文
Standardize the encoding
Uniform encoding to prevent garbled codes caused by a certain link
Environment coding, IDE/textEditor, file coding, database data table coding
Ensure code source file coding
This is very important
The default encoding of py files is ASCII. In the source code file, if non-ASCII characters are used, the encoding declaration needs to be made in the header of the file.
If not declared, errors will be encountered when inputting non-ASCII characters. , must be placed on the first or second line of the file
File "XXX.py", line 3 SyntaxError: Non-ASCII character ‘\xd6‘ in file c.py on line 3, but no encoding declared; see http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0263.html for details
Declaration method
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*- 或者 #coding=utf-8
If the header declares coding=utf-8, a = 'Chinese', its encoding is utf-8
If the header declares coding=gb2312, a = 'Chinese', its encoding is gbk
so, all source file headers in the same project have the same encoding, and the declared encoding must be the same as the source file The saved encoding is consistent (editor related)
is used as a hard-coded string for processing in the source code, and uniformly uses unicode
将其类型和源文件本身的编码隔离开, 独立无依赖方便流程中各个位置处理
if s == u‘中文‘: #而不是 s == ‘中文‘ pass #注意这里 s到这里时,确保转为unicode
以上几步搞定后,你只需要关注两个 unicode和 你设定的编码(一般使用utf-8)
处理顺序
1. Decode early 2. Unicode everywhere 3. Encode later
相关模块及一些方法
获得和设置系统默认编码
>>> import sys >>> sys.getdefaultencoding() ‘ascii‘ >>> reload(sys)>>> sys.setdefaultencoding(‘utf-8‘) >>> sys.getdefaultencoding() ‘utf-8‘ >>> str.encode(‘other_coding‘)
在python中,直接将某种编码的str进行encode成另一种编码str
#str_A为utf-8 str_A.encode(‘gbk‘) 执行的操作是 str_A.decode(‘sys_codec‘).encode(‘gbk‘) 这里sys_codec即为上一步 sys.getdefaultencoding() 的编码
‘获得和设置系统默认编码‘和这里的str.encode是相关的,但我一般很少这么用,主要是觉得复杂不可控,还是输入明确decode,输出明确encode来得简单些
chardet
文件编码检测,下载
>>> import chardet >>> f = open(‘test.txt‘,‘r‘) >>> result = chardet.detect(f.read()) >>> result {‘confidence‘: 0.99, ‘encoding‘: ‘utf-8‘}
\u字符串转对应unicode字符串
>>> u‘中‘ u‘\u4e2d‘ >>> s = ‘\u4e2d‘ >>> print s.decode(‘unicode_escape‘) 中 >>> a = ‘\\u4fee\\u6539\\u8282\\u70b9\\u72b6\\u6001\\u6210\\u529f‘ >>> a.decode(‘unicode_escape‘) u‘\u4fee\u6539\u8282\u70b9\u72b6\u6001\u6210\u529f‘
