Write french characters in python 2.7

Question

I am trying to write french characters in python 2.7 like this:

plt.xlabel("Débit")

But, I had this error:

ValueError: matplotlib display text must have all code points < 128 or use Unicode strings

Is there a solution to write it please?

@Mika72 That declares the encoding of the source file only, so the OP should make sure to *save* the file in UTF-8 if that declaration is used. — Mark Tolonen, May 29 '18 at 17:28

The error ValueError: matplotlib display text must have all code points < 128 or use Unicode strings tells you to use a unicode string, so:

plt.xlabel(u"Débit")
