Python error: AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'setdefaultencoding' problem solution

Python's character set handling is a pain, currently using utf-8 in the majority, and then the default character set is ASCII, so we need to change to utf-8
View the current system character set

import sys

print sys.getdefaultencoding()

Perform:

[root@lee ~]# python a.py 

ascii

Modified to utf-8

import sys

 

sys.setdefaultencoding('utf-8')

 

print sys.getdefaultencoding()

Perform:

[root@lee ~]# python a.py 

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "a.py", line 4, in <module>

    sys.setdefaultencoding('utf-8')

AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'setdefaultencoding'

 Tip: AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'setdefaultencoding' ? 

Later, after looking up relevant information, I found that the earlier version can directly sys. Setdefaultencoding ('utf-8'), and the new version needs to be reloaded first

import sys

 

reload(sys)

sys.setdefaultencoding('utf-8')

 

print sys.getdefaultencoding()

perform

[root@lee ~]# python a.py 

utf-8
