Pydev must be doing something behind the scenes because when i changed open() to io.open() i get error inside of eclipse now: What encoding is this file? Since you're appending to it, you really need to match the pre-existing encoding, or the next program to deal with it is in big trouble. So using the io.open() without the encoding= keyword is probably a mistake. > > f.write(card+"\n") > File "C:\python27\lib\encodings\cp1252.py", line 19, in encode > return codecs.charmap_encode(input,self.errors,encoding_table)[0] > UnicodeEncodeError: 'charmap' codec can't encode character u'\u53c8' in position 32: character maps to > > .... > -- DaveA
