Hello,
I've been using "data.encode('ascii','replace')" to force an ASCII string
out of Unicode data, with "?" in the place of non-ASCII letters.
However, now I want to use a blank space (or maybe a dash) instead of a
question mark.
How do I do this?
See codecs.register_error(). Here's a simplistic example:
# coding: utf-8
import codecs
def handler(e):
return (u'-',e.start + 1)
codecs.register_error('mine',handler)
s = u'My name is 马克.'
print s.encode('ascii','mine')
OUTPUT:
My name is --.
