I am reading dive in python and it mentions setting python's default encoding scheme in the XML parsing chapter.
The setdefaultencoding is used in python-installed-dir/site-packages/pyanaconda/sitecustomize.py
import sys
sys.setdefaultencoding('utf-8')
But when I run the script, it raises:
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'setdefaultencoding'
How to set the default encoding,anyway?
I am using python 2.7
Solution:
find the site.py in the python installation.
Edit the setencoding function
def setencoding():
encoding = "ascii"
if 0:
import locale
loc = locale.getdefaultlocale()
if loc[1]:
encoding = loc[1]
if 0: #changes comes here, change 0 to 1
encoding = "undefined" #the encoding you want
if encoding != "ascii":
sys.setdefaultencoding(encoding)
I am using python 2.7

Python's sys module has had a setdefaultencoding function since Python 2.0. However,
This function is only intended to be used by the site module implementation and, where needed, by sitecustomize. Once used by the site module, it is removed from the sys module’s namespace.
The docs back to at least Python 2.1 indicate this happens, so it was never appropriate for PyAnaconda to use this method, and I'm not sure why it ever worked.
