    soup1 = bs.BeautifulSoup(url, 'lxml')
    paragraphs =soup1.findAll('p')
    print (Fore.GREEN + soup1.h2.text + Fore.RESET)
    print('')
    for paragraph in paragraphs:
        if paragraph != None:
            textpara = paragraph.text.strip().split(' ')
            colored_words = list(map(highlight, textpara))
            print(" ".join(colored_words).encode("utf-8")) #encode("utf-8")
        else:
            pass

I will have list of key words and urls to go through. After running few keywords in a url, I get output like this

Output:
b'\x1b[31mthe desired \x1b[31mmystery corners \x1b[31mthe differential . 
\x1b[31mthe back \x1b[31mpretends to be \x1b[31mthe'

I removed encode("utf-8") and I get encoding error

Output:

Can you help where I am going wrong please? Thanks
Do i need to use different encoding?

you show:

print(" ".join(colored_words).encode("utf-8")) #encode("utf-8")

yet error shows:

print(" ".join(colored_words)) #encode("utf-8")

Not the same code. Also, try encoding = None which is a long shot.
