I'm working on Flask (which has probably nothing to do with this problem) web app which uses python. I'm getting this error: UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf8' codec can't decode byte 0xe8 in position 5: invalid continuation byte . I put # -*- coding: utf-8 -*- on the top of the file but still getting the same. This is a part of the code:
s+="Searching results for: \"%s \"<br><br>".encode("utf-8") % (pattern)
for i in orderedList[0:10]:
a=a+1
res=(SC.dictionaryMemory.get(i))
try:
resString= ', '.join(res)
except:
print("Chyba!")
with open('somefile.txt', 'a') as the_file:
the_file.write(resString)
s+="<b>%s: </b>%s,<br>".decode("utf-8") % (i, resString.decode("utf-8"))
return (s.decode("utf-8") if (len(orderedList)>0) else "Nebyli nalezeny zadne vyrazy.".encode("utf-8")))
And this is s traceback I get on html page:

return codecs.utf_8_decode(input, errors, True)
UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf8' codec can't decode byte 0xe8 in position 5: invalid continuation byte
The problem is in my opinion in content of resString. In somefile.txt is this:
společné, obecný, veřejný, společný, prostý, obyčejný, obvyklý, obecný, společný, běľný
Will you give me some advice please?
EDIT: I changed decode to encode, but the same problem appeared.
