UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode characters in position 0-6: ordinal not in range(128)
Solution 1
Clearly, self.tableWidget.item().text()
returns Unicode, and you need to use the decode
method instead:
self.tableWidget.item(row, col).text().encode('utf8')
You really want to review the Python Unicode HOWTO to fully appreciate the difference between a unicode object and it's byte encoding.
Another excellent article is The Absolute Minimum Every Software Developer Absolutely, Positively Must Know About Unicode and Character Sets (No Excuses!), by Joel Spolsky (one of the people behind Stack Overflow).
Solution 2
Try put following code in the beginning
It's fixed my problem perfectly
import sys
reload(sys)
sys.setdefaultencoding('utf8')
Solution 3
teext = self.tableWidget.item(row, col).text().decode('utf-8')
Replace 'utf-8' with encoding of your text

Ι've tried all the solution that I could find, but nothing seems to work:
teext = str(self.tableWidget.item(row, col).text())
I'm writing in greek by the way...
