A lot of sites yielded
UnicodeDecodeError
when usingHtmlParserLinkExtractor().extract_links(response)
. When theHTMLParser
receives theresponse.body
asunicode
the exceptions dissappear. Maybe you can still replicate this with one or the other url i posted on stackedit (but these might work on your system depending on the system default encoding).Also have a look at the HTMLParser documentation in Python 2 docs.python.org/2.7 stating
data can be either unicode or str, but passing unicode is advised.
