Python - ERROR - failed to write data to stream: <open file '<stdout>', mode 'w' at 0x104c8f150>

Question

I'm doing an import data from a CSV file, after entering 210 lines, it returns me this error. I'm doing this from Django shell (manage.py shell)

ERROR - failed to write data to stream: <open file '<stdout>', mode 'w' at 0x104c8f150>

Answer 1

This is a problem with the IPython encoding that is not UTF-8. export PYTHONIOENCODING=UTF-8 will solve it.

Answer 2

This did the trick.

# sys.setdefaultencoding() does not exist, here!
import sys
reload(sys)  # Reload does the trick!
sys.setdefaultencoding('UTF-8')
