UnicodeEncodeError : le codec 'latin-1' ne peut pas encoder le caractère

Question

Qu'est-ce qui pourrait être à l'origine de cette erreur lorsque j'essaie d'insérer un caractère étranger dans la base de données ?

>>UnicodeEncodeError: 'latin-1' codec can't encode character u'\u201c' in position 0: ordinal not in range(256)

Et comment le résoudre ?

Merci !

La meilleure solution est

1. définir le jeu de caractères de mysql sur 'utf-8'

2. faire comme ce commentaire(ajoutez use_unicode=True et charset="utf8")

   db = MySQLdb.connect(host="localhost", user = "root", passwd = "", db = "testdb", use_unicode=True, charset="utf8") – KyungHoon Kim 13 mars 2014 à 17h04

voir en détail :

class Connection(_mysql.connection):

    """MySQL Database Connection Object"""

    default_cursor = cursors.Cursor

    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        """

        Create a connection to the database. It is strongly recommended
        that you only use keyword parameters. Consult the MySQL C API
        documentation for more information.

        host
          string, host to connect

        user
          string, user to connect as

        passwd
          string, password to use

        db
          string, database to use

        port
          integer, TCP/IP port to connect to

        unix_socket
          string, location of unix_socket to use

        conv
          conversion dictionary, see MySQLdb.converters

        connect_timeout
          number of seconds to wait before the connection attempt
          fails.

        compress
          if set, compression is enabled

        named_pipe
          if set, a named pipe is used to connect (Windows only)

        init_command
          command which is run once the connection is created

        read_default_file
          file from which default client values are read

        read_default_group
          configuration group to use from the default file

        cursorclass
          class object, used to create cursors (keyword only)

        use_unicode
          If True, text-like columns are returned as unicode objects
          using the connection's character set.  Otherwise, text-like
          columns are returned as strings.  columns are returned as
          normal strings. Unicode objects will always be encoded to
          the connection's character set regardless of this setting.

        charset
          If supplied, the connection character set will be changed
          to this character set (MySQL-4.1 and newer). This implies
          use_unicode=True.

        sql_mode
          If supplied, the session SQL mode will be changed to this
          setting (MySQL-4.1 and newer). For more details and legal
          values, see the MySQL documentation.

        client_flag
          integer, flags to use or 0
          (see MySQL docs or constants/CLIENTS.py)

        ssl
          dictionary or mapping, contains SSL connection parameters;
          see the MySQL documentation for more details
          (mysql_ssl_set()).  If this is set, and the client does not
          support SSL, NotSupportedError will be raised.

        local_infile
          integer, non-zero enables LOAD LOCAL INFILE; zero disables

        autocommit
          If False (default), autocommit is disabled.
          If True, autocommit is enabled.
          If None, autocommit isn't set and server default is used.

        There are a number of undocumented, non-standard methods. See the
        documentation for the MySQL C API for some hints on what they do.

J'espère que votre base de données est au moins UTF-8. Ensuite, vous devrez exécuter yourstring.encode('utf-8') avant d'essayer de le mettre dans la base de données.
