I am trying to read data from a website. I can see the value I need but the value does not appear in the downloaded html code (using urllib2).

Hi! I was happily using BeautifulSoup and I'm also using a text file as input parameters of my Python script. I then came across the famous "UnicodeEncodeError" error. I've been reading questions here at SO but I'm still confused. What does ASCII got to do with all of these? What encoding do I use on my text editor (Notepad++)? ANSI? ...

I don't want to do anything fancy, just get all the text in a page. However, it turns out that BeautifulSoup is rather slow, as it takes an appreciab...
