There are non ascii character in path of "static" folder in flask

Question

This is a code in css

background-image: url( {{ url_for('static', filename = 'background.jpg') }} ) ;

And the path for static is "/Users/gengruijie/Desktop/未命名文件夹/OneDrive/学习/cs/课外/Github/AutoGrading/sample". So it will give me a error:

My Python version is 2.7.12 My flask version is '0.11.1'

You can try running [`import sys; reload(sys); sys.setdefaultencoding('UTF8')`](https://stackoverflow.com/a/17628350/8200485) but that can break things. — hyper-neutrino, Oct 28 '17 at 14:31
At the top of your code, you can also try adding [`# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-`](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0263/). I'm not sure if either of these solutions work though because I can't try them right now. — hyper-neutrino, Oct 28 '17 at 14:32
