I have tried now to take away printing to terminal and just keeping the wri=
ting to a .txt file to disk (which is what the scripts purpose is):

with open(filepath,"a") as f:
    for card in cardlist:
        f.write(card+"\n")

The file it writes to exists and im just appending to it, but when i run th=
e script trough eclipse, all is fine. When i run in terminal i get this err=
or instead:

File "K:\dev\python\webscraping\kanji_anki.py", line 69, in savefile
    f.write(card+"\n")
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\u898b' in posit=
ion 3
2: ordinal not in range(128)
