Error either passing URL or feed URL

[will76]

This is what I get passing feed URL:

python blogspot_downloader.py -p -f https://foo.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default
Download in rss feed mode
Scraping rss feed... https://foo.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default?start-index=1&max-results=25
Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "blogspot_downloader.py", line 348, in download
    print('\ntitle: ' + title_raw)
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xf4' in position 25: ordinal not in range(128)

Exception -2

and this is what I get passing only the simple URL:

I was able to get rid of the second error. Now only getting the encoding one.

You may try to adjust your terminal encoding settings, or better use Python 3.

Python 2 is dead since 1 Jan 2020. I may remove python 2 code in future.

[UPDATE]:
Try to do this if encounter UnicodeEncodeError error:

export PYTHONIOENCODING=utf8; python3 blogspot_downloader.py

Another possible reason for UnicodeEncodeError is open file need set encoding='utf-8', even though this is not related based on your log.
