What is a good way to remove all characters that are out of the range: ordinal(128)
from a string in python?
I'm using hashlib.sha256 in python 2.7. I'm getting the exception:
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\u200e' in position 13: ordinal not in range(128)
I assume this means that some funky character found its way into the string that I am trying to hash.
Thanks!
new_safe_str = some_string.encode('ascii','ignore')
I think would work
or you could do a list comprehension
"".join([ch for ch in orig_string if ord(ch)<= 128])
[edit] however as others have said it may be better to figure out how to deal with unicode in general... unless you really need it encoded as ascii for some reason
