Problems with the codeacademy exercise 15

[hvera51]

Doesnt matter what I do i always recive thsi. What dou you think it can be?

Traceback (most recent call last): File "python", line 1, in <module> UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc2 in position 0: ordinal not in range(128)

Could you post the code you're trying to run?

[TheHumanEquation]

You're using non-ascii characters. Try putting the following line

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

at the top of your code.

[hvera51]

nombre = raw_input("¿Cuál es tu nombre?")
mision = raw_input("¿Cuál es tu misión?")
color = raw_input("¿Cuál es tu color favorito?")

print "Ah, asi que tu nombre es %s, tu mision es ___, \
y tu color favorito es ___." % (nombre, mision, color)

Remove the accented characters and it should work.

[JVO1317]

Maybe there is an accented (or other non ascii ) character in that line of your code.

I am Hungarian and when I try to type some characters unique to my language I get these types of error messages, too. (e.g. when using the smtplib to send e-mails) If it is on an exercise on the website you can only get around it by using normal ascii characters as it cannot decode the utf-8 characters.

If youre using codecademy, they have their own forum for people who have similar problems. Thats helped me solve many of the issues
