decoding

I'm trying to get some data from a web page. This webpage has stated that charset is utf-8. But there is a problem with \xa3 sign. I can't be encoded or decoded into/from 'utf-8'. for key,value in self.__dict__.iteritems(): if key not in self.db_attributes: print repr(value) attrs_statement+=str(key)+', ' values_statement+=str(value)+', ' ERROR: u'\xa3410' Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Users\Milano\My Documents\LiClipse Workspace\Velvet_scraper\vehicle.py", line 432, in <module> v.prepare_insert_statement('motorhog_temp') File "C:\Users\Milano\My Documents\LiClipse Workspace

I need to save a params file in python and this params file contains some parameters that I won't leave on plain text, so I codify the entire file to base64 (I know that this isn't the most secure encoding of the world but it works for the kind of data that I need to use). With the encoding, everything works well. I encode the content of my file (a simply txt with a proper extension) and save the file. The problem comes with the decode. I print the text coded before save the file and the text coded from the file saved and there are exactly the same, but for a reason I don't know, the decode of

The Roman8 charset is not supported by C#, but I need to use it properly (Encoding / Decoding strings), so I want to know what is the best method to create my own Encoding in order to support this Encoding? Is that enough : class Roman8Encoding : Encoding What about Encoder ? Decoder ? EncoderFallback ? DecoderFallback ? Any explanation on how do the job correctly is welcome. Thanks ! Jon Skeet I don't have time to give details at the moment, but I created an Encoding implementation for EBCDIC . You could use that source code as a starting point. I wrote it a long time ago, so I would probably

When I am trying to separate two Unicode characters by decoding and encoding them again I do not get the same Unicode in return but I get a different one. Attached are the responses when I try to do so. >>> s ='\xf0\x9f\x93\xb1\xf0\x9f\x9a\xac' >>> u = s.decode("utf-8") >>> u u'\U0001f4f1\U0001f6ac' >>> u[0].encode("utf-8") '\xed\xa0\xbd' >>> u[1].encode("utf-8") '\xed\xb3\xb1' >>> u[0] u'\ud83d' >>> u[1] u'\udcf1' Your version of python is using UCS-2 (16 bits per character) but these particular unicode characters require 32 bits, so element of u represents "half" of a character. u.encode(

I have been trying to create an image viewer for DICOM image. My program reads all the 8 bit colour and grayscale image almost correctly. But when I try to open a 16 bit image using the first 8 bits of the image, some parts are missing (pixels which uses 16 bit will be shown as dark instead of whilte). I don't really know how to use the window centre, window width, rescale slop and intercept. Please help me by giving the exact steps to convert 16 bit image to 8 bit image. Also I don't need to view the files which uses any compression technique to store the pixels. Thanks in advance. About

I have a binhex file. This file should be converted to normal readable file using java code. I found a similar question here, Binhex decoding using java code But the answer is not working. I tried Base64, the file is converted to some other format which is not human readable. Please help me to resolve this issue. The code i tried is as below File f = new File("Sample.pdf"); Base64 base64 = new Base64(); byte[] b = base64.decode(getBytesFromFile(f)); FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream("Dcode.pdf"); fos.write(b); fos.close(); public static byte[] getBytesFromFile(File file) throws
