Hmm im not sure what you mean but I wrote all code needed in a previous post so
maybe you missed that one :)
In short I basically just have:
import io
io.open(myfile,"a",encode="UTF-8") as f:
f.write(my_ustring_with_kanji)
the url.encode() is my unicode string variable named "url" using the type built
in function .encode() which was the thing i wondered why i needed to use,
which you explained very well, thank you!
Just one more question since all this is still a little fuzzy in my head.
When do i need to use .decode() in my code? is it when i read lines from f.ex a
UTF-8 file? And why didn't I have to use .encode() on my unicode string when
running from within eclipse pydev? someone wrote that it has a default codec
setting so maybe that handles it for me there (which is kinda dangerous since
my programs wont work running outside of eclipse since i didnt do any encoding
or using of unicode strings before in my script and it still worked)
