As many hopefully can relate, this encoding problem is driving me mental. I would really appreciate some light on this! End goal is to be able to run the same script.py from both terminal and cron, and from cron with <code>> stdout.txt</code>. And needless to say, I'm having serious encoding troubles. My script.py runs fine from terminal thus: <code>python script.py</code> It throws an error, however, when run from terminal thus: <code>python script.py > stdout.txt</code> It throws same error when run in cron, either way. I have a python script, entered in <code>crontab -e</code> as root. This is my script.py header: <pre><code>#!/usr/bin/python # -*- coding: utf-8 -*- </code></pre> This is my cron entry: <pre><code>* * * * * python /home/ubuntu/parrot/script.py > /home/ubuntu/parrot/stdout.txt </code></pre> This is my stdout.txt (the relevant part): <pre><code>Unexpected error! (<type 'exceptions.UnicodeDecodeError'>, UnicodeDecodeError('ascii', 'blabla some weird text n\xc3\xa5r end', 54, 55, 'ordinal not in range(128)')) </code></pre> This is my env from terminal (the relevant part): <pre><code>LANG=en_US.UTF-8 </code></pre> This is my env from cron (the relevant part): <pre><code>LANG=en_US.UTF-8 </code></pre> This is the (first) line in script.py throwing the error: <pre><code>print 'Posting @%s: %s' % (statusObj.user.screen_name.encode('ascii', 'replace'), statusObj.text.encode('utf-8', 'replace')) </code></pre> Edit: <code>sys.getdefaultencoding()</code> returns <code>ascii</code> Any help is greatly appreciated!

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
