Python Unicode %HH-escaping
All,
I am working on an application that has a mixture of standard latin-1 characters and other languages. I would like to convert everything to the same "format" so that the Bing translator can understand it. There are two articles that I've looked at.
http开发者_开发问答s://dev.laptop.org/ticket/2327 I actually want to do the reverse of this and convert this http://ar.wikipedia.org/wiki/حاسوب to this http://ar.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D8%AD%D8%A7%D8%B3%D9%88%D8%A8
Similar article but not quite what I was looking for. How to unquote a urlencoded unicode string in python?
My method is quite simple...
for w in wiki:
q = (w[0])
u = unicode(q, 'utf=8', errors='ignore')
h = ''
for c in u:
h += do something amazing
doTranslate(h)
Can anyone help to shed some light on what I am missing here?
urllib might help. At least this snippet works:
#! /usr/bin/env python
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
import urllib
w = 'ar.wikipedia.org/wiki/حاسوب'
print urllib.quote (w)
Output is
ar.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D8%AD%D8%A7%D8%B3%D9%88%D8%A8
Depending which encoding your input strings have you might need to call encode ('utf-8') prior to passing it to quote()
