Selenium WebDriver. Python. How to assert Chinese text in the tag?

Question

I am getting "ASCII" errors trying use str.decode(), unicode.encode() and other functions. Can't understand how properly use it.

HTML code which I am trying to assest:

<div class="head">
   <h1 id="localizationHeading">本地化</h1>
</div>

My assert script:

assert driver.find_element_by_id("localizationHeading").text == str.decode("本地化")

I also tried to use this script:

assert "本地化" in driver.find_element_by_id("localizationHeading").text

P.S. In the top of my code is # coding: utf-8 .

Error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "day2.py", line 53, in <module>
    assert driver.find_element_by_id("localizationHeading").text == str.decode("
µ£¼σ£░σîû")
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xe6 in position 0: ordinal
not in range(128)

And these:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "day2.py", line 52, in <module>
    assert "µ£¼σ£░σîû" in driver.find_element_by_id("localizationHeading").text
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xe6 in position 0: ordinal
not in range(128)

assert driver.find_element_by_id("localizationHeading").text == "本地化".decode().encode('utf-8') also doesn't work - the same issue.

Please post the "different errors." – ChrisP Jan 30 '14 at 00:18 — ChrisP, Jan 30 '14 at 00:18
Done. Actually it's always one error, sorry. – Kirill Jan 30 '14 at 00:27 — Kirill, Jan 30 '14 at 00:27

Solution by OP.

Replacing .decode().encode('utf-8') with .decode('utf-8'):

assert driver.find_element_by_id("localizationHeading").text == "本地化".decode('utf-8')
