Question

string encoding error

Closed this issue 8 years ago · 3 comments

When importing a data item which has a currency symbol in the title I get the following error:

"UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xa3' in position 0: ordinal not in range(128)"

This was when importing symbol "USDOLLR" with field "ER" (i.e.: DWE.fetch('USDOLLR','ER', date_from='2015'). The title of the data series has both the £ and $ characters in it.
