Python Error in QGIS

Question

I got this error message when I tried to perfoming a spatial join.

An error has occured while executing Python code :
Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "C:/Users/Laurent/.qgis2/python/plugins\spatialJoin\spatialjoin.py", line 186, in applyJoin
 self.tra.ce( exp)
 File "C:/Users/Laurent/.qgis2/python/plugins\spatialJoin\spatialjoin.py", line 45, in ce
 print string
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xe7' in position 17: ordinal not in range(128)

Python Version: 2.7.5 (default, May 15 2013, 22:44:16) [MSC v.1500 64 bit (AMD64)]

QGIS Version: 2.8.1-Wien Wien, exported

Any idea on this?

• Joseph: Does your layer or filename contain accents (eg. Á, è, ö etc)? This could be a reason you receive a unicode error.

Answer 1

This error is usually caused by presence of some characters that are not understood in the content. example: non-english letters First check for these characters in your code and replace them.

Answer 2

This Error very common in Turkish Language. Need to check Turkish character use in Folder Names.

• nmtoken: This seems to confirm what might cause the issue, but doesn't suggest any solution. What do you do if you find that you are using such characters
• Can Bayat: I change the folder name and it solve this problem. I dont know another way to solve the problem.
