This is my first question here.
I am running the following:
- Sublime Text 3
- OS 10
- Python 3.6
I am trying to open and print on Sublime a .txt file. I am using the following code:
myfile = open("/stanford.txt", "r")
contents = myfile.read()
and this is the error message that I get:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/Users/me/python/Test1.py", line 11, in <module>
contents = myfile.read()
File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.6/lib/python3.6/encodings/ascii.py", line 26, in decode
return codecs.ascii_decode(input, self.errors)[0]
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xe2 in position 173: ordinal not in range(128)
[Finished in 0.1s with exit code 1]
The 2 lines of code above work on Sublime Text 3 when I run it using Python 2.7. It also works when I run them on Terminal (using Python3). However, they do not work when I try them in IDLE: there I get exactly that same error message that Sublime Text 3 is giving me when I run them in Python3.
This is my build configuration on Sublime Text 3:
{
"cmd": ["/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.6/bin/python3", "$file"],
"selector": "source.python",
"file_regex": "file \"(...*?)\", line([0-9]+)"
}
I have also tried adding "PYTHONIOENCODING" but still the same error message:
{
"cmd": ["/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.6/bin/python3", "$file"],
"selector": "source.python",
"file_regex": "file \"(...*?)\", line([0-9]+)",
"env": {"PYTHONIOENCODING": "utf8"}
}
(I have also tried "utf-8" with the dash instead of the above. Same error message).
What do I need to do so that Sublime Text 3 can read the file?
Thank you
Edit: I don't think this issue is a duplicate of the other? This works on Terminal for me but not on Sublime Text 3.
Edit2: I have noticed that if I remove the apostrophes (') contained in the text file, I get to open the file with no problems. The error only occurs when I add the apostrophes back to the text file.
