Python运行报错UnicodeDecodeError的解决方法

Python2.7在Windows上有一个bug，运行报错：

UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc4 in position 33: ordinal not in range(128)

解决方案如下：

编辑Python27\Lib\mimetypes.py文件，全选，替换为以下patch后的正确脚本，或者直接依据此patch修改：

"""Guess the MIME type of a file.
 
This module defines two useful functions:
 
guess_type(url, strict=1) -- guess the MIME type and encoding of a URL.
 
guess_extension(type, strict=1) -- guess the extension for a given MIME type.
 
It also contains the following, for tuning the behavior:
 
Data:
 
knownfiles -- list of files to parse
inited -- flag set when init() has been called
suffix_map -- dictionary mapping suffixes to suffixes
encodings_map -- dictionary mapping suffixes to encodings
types_map -- dictionary mapping suffixes to types
 
Functions:
 
init([files]) -- parse a list of files, default knownfiles (on Windows, the
 default values are taken from the registry)
read_mime_types(file) -- parse one file, return a dictionary or None

附上一篇关于python编码的帖子

1. pyhton的所有内置库、方法接受的是unicode编码的字符串。

2. str.decode 函数就是转成unicode编码，所以能decode的字符串传进python的内置库、函数都能正确运行。

3.问题在于这个decode函数解码时到底要传哪个参数：utf-8,gbk,gb2312......等N种编码。参数不当，就会抛类似异常：

UnicodeDecodeError: 'gbk' codec can't decode bytes in position 2-3: illegal multibyte sequence
   UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf8' codec can't decode bytes in position 0-1: invalid data

下面举个例子：

#coding:utf-8 
#指定本文件编码为utf8 
import os 
# 以下为示例代码，不一定能运行。随意写的，无编译运行过。 
# 例子以XP平台为例，因为linux平台编码（UTF-8）与window平台（GBK）不一样。 
# 假设D盘下面有很多中文名称文件 
filelist = os.listdir(r"d:\\") # 此处返回的list中的中文是以GBK编码的，你可以通过查看cmd窗口属性看到。 
for path in filelist: 
 if os.path.isdir(path): continue 
  fp = open(path.decode("GBK") , 'rb') # 如果此处用 path.decode("UTF-8") 就会抛异常，原因是wind的dir命令返回的是GBK编码 
 print len(fp.read()) 
  fp.close() 
filepath =r"d:\\中文文件.doc"    # 假设此文存在，记得要带中文 
fp = open(filepath.decode('utf-8'), "rb") #这里使用utf8参数进行解码，原因是文件头里有句coding: utf-8 
print len(fp.read()) 
fp.close() 
path2 = u"d:\\中文文件.doc" # 假如这里有个u在前面，这个变量就是unicode编码了，不用解码。 
fp = open(path2, 'rb') 
print len(fp.read()) 
fp.close()
