I am currently working on an application which grabs data from subreddits and writes them into an text file. When starting my script I am running in the following error:
File "my_file.py", line 35, in <module>
data.writelines('parent_id: '+ str(comment.parent()) + 'body: '+ str(comment.body) + "\n")
File "C:\Users\supre\anaconda3\envs\learn-python\lib\encodings\cp1252.py", line 19, in encode
return codecs.charmap_encode(input,self.errors,encoding_table)[0]
UnicodeEncodeError: 'charmap' codec can't encode character '\U0001f937' in position 0: character maps to <undefined>
This is my code:
import praw
reddit = praw.Reddit(client_id = 'my_client_id',
client_secret = 'my_client_secret',
username = 'my_username',
password = 'my_password',
user_agent = 'my_user_agent')
subreddit = reddit.subreddit('news')
hot_python = subreddit.hot(limit=50)
data = open('data.txt','w')
for submission in hot_python:
if not submission.stickied:
print(20*'-')
print('TITEL: '+ submission.title)
submission.comments.replace_more(limit=0)
for comment in submission.comments.list():
print(30*'+')
print('parent_id:', comment.parent())
print(comment.body)
if len(comment.replies) > 0:
for reply in comment.replies:
print('REPLY:')
print("\t"+reply.body)
print(reply.parent())
data.writelines('parent_id: '+ str(comment.parent()) + 'body: '+ str(comment.body) + "\n")
data.close()
Is there maybe something I am doing wrong? If so I would be glad if someone could tell me what I am doing wrong and help me to solve this problem.
Thank's for every suggestion and help in advance:)
