python Encoding Problem?

I read from source.sql ( sql script ) file

INSERT INTO `Tbl_abc` VALUES (1111, 2222, 'CLEMENT', 'taya', 'MME', 'Gérant', NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, 4688, 0, NULL, NULL, 'MAILLOT 01/02/09', 'MAILLOT 01/04/09', NULL, NULL);

And write to dest.sql With my list formated

I met the problem with encoding for example:

Gérant= G\xc3\xa9rant

WHAT I AM TRYING

def DataMigration(dest, source, tbl_name, return_data=True):
    '''      
    '''
    data = []
    for ln in codecs.open(source, 'r', "utf-8").xreadlines():
        replace1 = ln.replace("INSERT INTO `"+tbl_name+"` VALUES (", "")
        replace2 = replace1.replace(");", "")
        list_replace = replace2.split(',')        
        s = list_replace
        data.append(list_replace)

    if return_data == True:
        ouputdata = [d for d in data if d[1] == ' 0' and d[6]==' 0']
        return ouputdata
    if return_data == False:
        return data

I print print DataMigration('dest.sql', '.source.sql', 'Tbl_ab开发者_如何学编程c', False)

OUTPUT

  [['1111', ' 2222', " 'CLEMENT'", " 'taya'", " 'MME'", " 'G\xc3\xa9rant'", ' NULL', ' NULL', ' NULL', ' NULL', ' NULL', ' NULL', ' NULL', ' 4688', ' 0', ' NULL', ' NULL', " 'MAILLOT 01/04/09'", " 'MAILLOT 01/04/09'", ' NULL', ' NULL']]


But My Ouput file still has the problem.Any Could help me ?

Please use .encode("utf-8"), when you write to .sql file too.

open the file

fileObj = codecs.open( "someFile", "r", "utf-8" )

lets say you read it

data=fileOjb.read()

... do something on data

open("newfile","w").write(data.encode("utf-8"))

Hi check encoding of your file .sql maybe it is not utf-8!

Store your working data internally in Python as Unicode (use decode on read), and always write out using encode.

In your instance, you need to know the encoding of your database to know the correct output encoding.
