Anyone please?

I have already shown my support for Peter Otten on this thread. Are you
asking for more people to do so?

Sure, I can! He's one of the people who keeps this list/ng productive
and helpful. People can come here with Python problems and get Python
solutions.

(I wouldn't normally "me too" a thread, but hey, with that opening!)

I'am not sure i follow you.
How did my topic changed?! Is this possible?

How about the oce i posted at patebin.com.
Did anyone by any chnace had a look into?

It's only a single thing iam missing for the encoding and the the script will load properly with python 3.3

Look at what 'python3 metrites.py' gives me

File "/root/.local/lib/python2.7/lib/python3.3/os.py", line 669, ...

Yes i see it in the traceback but i dont know what it means.
Please explain to me.
Tahnk you.

It means that there is something very strange about the way that your
Python 3.3 is installed, as the libraries appear to be installed under
your Python 2.7 library directory.

Enough already with the thought police.

It was me who made the silly reply to the guy who was ranting about
everything being broken, giving us nothing to help in on, ending his
message in an edifying and in my judgement, largely rhetorical
"Suggestions?". So I gave him some silly suggestions (*not* intended
to be sarcasm), and I'm not apologising for it. At least I'm not
presuming to take the moral high ground at every half-opportunity.

Recently I gave a very quick reply to someone who was wondering why he
couldn't get the docstring from his descriptor - I didn't have the
time to expand because two of my kids had jumped on my knees almost as
soon as I'd got on the computer. I decided to post the reply anyway
as I thought it would give the OP something to get started on and
nobody else seemed to have replied so far - but I got remonstrated for
not being complete enough in my reply! What is that about?

AFAIK, this is not Python Customer Service, but a place for people who
are interested in Python to discuss problems and *freely* exchange
thoughts about the language and its ecosystem. Over the year I've
posted the occasional silly message but I think my record is
overwhelmingly that I've tried to be helpful, and when I've needed
some help myself, I've got some great advice. My first question on
this list was answered by Alex Martelli and nowadays I get most
excellent and concise tips from Peter Otten - thanks, Peter! If
there's one person on this list I don't want to offend, it's you!

So here's to lots more good and bad humour on this list, and the
occasional slightly un-pc remark even!

Cheers,

From looking at the HTML source of the page:

http://superhost.gr/

I see near the start:

b'<!DOCTYPE html

I'd say you have a bytes object that you've fed to print().
In python2, str is effectively bytes.
In python3, str is a sequence of Unicode code points, and bytes are
arrays of small integers.
If you feed a bytes object to print it will print a strig represenation
of it, starting with "b'...".

The question is: where did the bytes object come from? A cursory
glance through your pastebin code doesn't show me anthing very
obvious.

I'd start by asking: where does the string "<!DOCTYPE" come from?
Wherever that is, it seems to be bytes rather than str.
Start with that.

Firtly thank uou for taking a look into the code.

the doctype is coming form the attempt of script metrites.py to open and read the 'index.html' file.

But i don't know how to try to open it as a byte file instead of an tetxt file.

Since now we k ow the problem maybe we can tell metrites.py to open index.html using utf-8 encoding rather as binary, dont you think?

What makes you think it is UTF-8?

Last time you tried decoding content as UTF-8, you got an error that it
wasn't a legal UTF-8 file.


Where does index.html come from? Whatever program generates that, you
need to find out what encoding it is using.

Oops, sorry, correction. It wasn't a legal UTF-8 string. It was an
environment variable that was causing the decoding error, since it
contained illegal bytes for a UTF-8 string.

Hello steven, index.html was writenn by handcode from me utilizing html + css

metrites.py tries to open that script so we must tell it to open as utf-8 text and not as a binary file.

How can we do that?

 

[Lele Gaifax]

metrites.py tries to open that script so we must tell it to open as
utf-8 text and not as a binary file.

One way is the following:

from codecs import open

with open('index.html', encoding='utf-8') as f:
content = f.read()

ciao, lele.

I think you've got it backwards. It looks like metrites.py has
opened the file as bytes instead of as text (probably utf8, but
that remains to be seen). Because it has opened it in binary mode
you're getting bytes when you read from the file.

Can you show the relevant code that opens the files and reads from
it, and the print statement that is putting it back out?

You probably need to ensure that metrites.py is opening it as text,
with the correct encoding. Note that the encoding is nothing to
do with your _output_. It is the encoding of the data in the file
you are reading, and that is dictated by the editor used to make
the file.

Anyway, code first. What does it look like?
