I am working on a script that randomly chooses a file and asks the user whether to execute it. I recently got the error shown below, and I'm confused about how to change my script to fix this.
Traceback (most recent call last):
File ".\randomplay.py", line 33, in <module>
print(file)
UnicodeEncodeError: 'cp932' codec can't encode character '\u8138' in position 1: illegal multibyte sequence
The code below works in Python 2.x. However, I'm required to implement this function in Python 3.x. Can anyone advise me how to do it? I want to make it work the same as before.
import sys
import os,io
import random
import subprocess
import msvcrt
if __name__ == '__main__':
indir = os.path.realpath("./")
for root, dirs, files in os.walk(indir):
random.shuffle(files)
#print(files)
for file in files:
cmd="\""+file+"\""
print(file)
print("OK with it?")
c = msvcrt.getch()
print(str(ord(c)))
if ord(c) == 27:
exit()
elif ord(c) == 13:
print("executing...")
subprocess.Popen(cmd,shell=True)
exit()
else:
print("How about this?")
pass

By upgrading python to 3.6.X seems to be the most fast way to deal with this problem without change any script! Now it works!
Thanks!
