Python errors getting members list

Question

I am trying to get all of the member's list, everything works fine with below code but sometimes I get an error: UnicodeEncodeError: 'UCS-2' codec can't encode characters in position 11-11: Non-BMP character not supported in Tk

So how to ignore this and get members list.

server = bot.get_server(id="xxxxxxxxxxxx")
if server:
    for member in server.members:
        print('name: {}'.format(member.name) )
        print('id: {}'.format(member.id) )

The problem is not in your code, IDLE can't display some of the characters. You can remove those characters, or switch to a different way of running your code. — Patrick Haugh, Sep 13 '18 at 16:44

You should use try and except.

The reason for the error is the encoding of the "members list", so try to use this:

server = bot.get_server(id="xxxxxxxxxxxx")
if server:
    for member in server.members:
        try:
            print('name: {}'.format(member.name) )
            print('id: {}'.format(member.id) )
        except UnicodeEncodeError:
            # do somthing
            pass

Hope this helps!

I already tried this but it stops code in middle but not continues remaining list again. – Demotry Sep 13 '18 at 16:33
I have moved the `try` `except` into the for loop – Moshe Slavin Sep 13 '18 at 16:43
