unicode error message - Skaperen - Oct-10-2017
i got this error message:
SyntaxError: (unicode error) 'unicodeescape' codec can't decode bytes in position 0-9: illegal Unicode characterwhat does the part
bytes in position 0-9 refer to?
RE: unicode error message - hbknjr - Oct-10-2017
It's the index illegal characters in your byte object, that can't be decoded with Unicode-escape.
https://docs.python.org/3/library/exceptions.html#UnicodeError
Quote:start
The first index of invalid data in object.
end
The index after the last invalid data in object.

i found the problem. the code exceeded 0x010ffff (1114111) and thus was not valid unicode and so it could not be encoded into utf-8.
