UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xe9 in position 0: ordinal not in range(128) 解决办法

最近在用Python处理中文字符串时，报出了如下错误：

UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xe9 in position 0: ordinal not in range(128)

1、原因

因为默认情况下，Python采用的是ascii编码方式，如下所示：

◄►  python -c "import sys; print sys.getdefaultencoding()"
ascii
◄►  

而Python在进行编码方式之间的转换时，会将 unicode 作为“中间编码”，但 unicode 最大只有 128 那么长，所以这里当尝试将 ascii 编码字符串转换成"中间编码" unicode 时由于超出了其范围，就报出了如上错误。

2、解决办法

1）第一种：这里我们将Python的默认编码方式修改为utf-8，就可以规避上述问题的发生，具体方式，我们在Python文件的前面加上如下代码：

import sys
defaultencoding = 'utf-8'
if sys.getdefaultencoding() != defaultencoding:
    reload(sys)
    sys.setdefaultencoding(defaultencoding)

 2）第二种：我们在/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/目录下添加一个sitecustomize.py文件，内容如下：

import sys
sys.setdefaultencoding('utf-8')

 这种方式可以解决所有项目的encoding问题，具体说明可参考/usr/lib/python2.7/site.py文件：

"""Append module search paths for third-party packages to sys.path.

****************************************************************
* This module is automatically imported during initialization. *
****************************************************************

In earlier versions of Python (up to 1.5a3), scripts or modules that
needed to use site-specific modules would place ``import site''
somewhere near the top of their code.  Because of the automatic
import, this is no longer necessary (but code that does it still
works).

This will append site-specific paths to the module search path.  On
Unix (including Mac OSX), it starts with sys.prefix and
sys.exec_prefix (if different) and appends
lib/python<version>/site-packages as well as lib/site-python.
On other platforms (such as Windows), it tries each of the
prefixes directly, as well as with lib/site-packages appended.  The
resulting directories, if they exist, are appended to sys.path, and
also inspected for path configuration files.

For Debian and derivatives, this sys.path is augmented with directories
for packages distributed within the distribution. Local addons go
into /usr/local/lib/python<version>/dist-packages, Debian addons
install into /usr/{lib,share}/python<version>/dist-packages.
/usr/lib/python<version>/site-packages is not used.

A path configuration file is a file whose name has the form
<package>.pth; its contents are additional directories (one per line)
to be added to sys.path.  Non-existing directories (or
non-directories) are never added to sys.path; no directory is added to
sys.path more than once.  Blank lines and lines beginning with
'#' are skipped. Lines starting with 'import' are executed.

For example, suppose sys.prefix and sys.exec_prefix are set to
/usr/local and there is a directory /usr/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages
with three subdirectories, foo, bar and spam, and two path
configuration files, foo.pth and bar.pth.  Assume foo.pth contains the
following:

  # foo package configuration
  foo
  bar
  bletch

and bar.pth contains:

  # bar package configuration
  bar

Then the following directories are added to sys.path, in this order:

  /usr/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages/bar
  /usr/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages/foo

Note that bletch is omitted because it doesn't exist; bar precedes foo
because bar.pth comes alphabetically before foo.pth; and spam is
omitted because it is not mentioned in either path configuration file.

After these path manipulations, an attempt is made to import a module
named sitecustomize, which can perform arbitrary additional
site-specific customizations.  If this import fails with an
ImportError exception, it is silently ignored.
