    <p>i want to scrape a website with a german umlaut in the url. Here is my code in python 3.3, that works very fine without any umlauts.</p> <pre><code>def numResults(keyword): try: page_google = 'http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/services/search/web?v=1.0&amp;q=' +keyword print(page_google) req_google = Request(page_google) req_google.add_header('User Agent', 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:15.0) Gecko/20120427 Firefox/15.0a1') html_google = urlopen(req_google).read() soup = BeautifulSoup(html_google) except URLError as e: print(e) return soup </code></pre> <p>But when i request something like:</p> <pre><code>print(numResults('älterer')) </code></pre> <p>i get the following error because urllib cannot handle the umlaut i guess:</p> <pre><code>Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Users\zwieback86\Desktop\programming\scrape.py", line 137, in &lt;module&gt; print(numResults('älterer')) File "C:\Users\zwieback86\Desktop\programming\scrape.py", line 73, in numResults html_google = urlopen(req_google).read() File "c:\python33\lib\urllib\request.py", line 156, in urlopen return opener.open(url, data, timeout) File "c:\python33\lib\urllib\request.py", line 469, in open response = self._open(req, data) File "c:\python33\lib\urllib\request.py", line 487, in _open '_open', req) File "c:\python33\lib\urllib\request.py", line 447, in _call_chain result = func(*args) File "c:\python33\lib\urllib\request.py", line 1268, in http_open return self.do_open(http.client.HTTPConnection, req) File "c:\python33\lib\urllib\request.py", line 1248, in do_open h.request(req.get_method(), req.selector, req.data, headers) File "c:\python33\lib\http\client.py", line 1061, in request self._send_request(method, url, body, headers) File "c:\python33\lib\http\client.py", line 1089, in _send_request self.putrequest(method, url, **skips) File "c:\python33\lib\http\client.py", line 953, in putrequest self._output(request.encode('ascii')) UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character '\xe4' in position 38: ordinal not in range(128) </code></pre> <p>When i type in the adress "<a href="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/services/search/web?v=1.0&amp;q" rel="nofollow">http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/services/search/web?v=1.0&amp;q</a>=älterer" into the browser i get the wanted page.</p> <p>So i assume urllib cannot handle requests with umlauts in the url. But how can i fix it that it will accept the german umlauts? To change the umlauts like ä -> ae is not an option.</p> <p>Many thanks and regards!</p>

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.
