我寫了一個處理文字的檔案就是把文字中所有的符號都替換掉，替換成空格。用的python中maketrans和translate。其中在使用對於ASCII編碼的檔案時是正常的，但對於utf-8檔案時，就報錯，提示maketrans中的參數不等長，但是明明是一樣長的啊：

File "/Users/lgq/Desktop/p3.py", line 10, in text_to_words

"abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz                                                   ") 

ValueError: the first two maketrans arguments must have equal length

我查了一下說是maketrans在utf-8下不能用，那我在utf-8下該怎麼替換掉字符呢，求各位大神指點。

    """

    my_substitutions = the_text.maketrans(
        # If you find any of these
        "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789!\"#$%&()*+,-./:;<=>?@[]^_`{|}~'\",

        "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz                                            ")
    # Translate the text now.
    cleaned_text = the_text.translate(my_substitutions)
    wds = cleaned_text.split()
    return wds
