sys.exit(main(*sys.argv))
File "./codespell.py", line 473, in main

UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 3170: ordinal not in range(128)

What do you suggest?

Many thanks

Did you try giving the correct file name? Looking at how you ran it, you should do like below.

$ ./codespell.py data/dictionary.txt data/dictionary.txt

[lucasdemarchi]

ahnn... and checking the dictionary against the dictionary is just a test, right?

[orbitcowboy]

Yes, it is just a test. It also happens if i choose another file or directory.

[orbitcowboy]

Do you have any idea, or hint why it does not working?

[orbitcowboy]

Ok,

i found i myself:

At line 256 you have to insert the following line:

def build_dict(filename):
with open(filename, 'r', 1, 'utf-8') as f:

On my machine, the encoding was not set by default to utf-8. Can you add this to your next release?

Many thanks for this great tools

Best regards
