Python 3 UnicodeDecodeError in Bottle

Question

Can't run hello world application from Bottle site http://bottlepy.org/docs/dev/:

from bottle import route, run, template

@route('/hello/<name>')
def index(name):
    return template('<b>Hello {{name}}</b>!', name=name)

run(host='localhost', port=8080)

when I run the code, I got a message: UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xcc in position 0: invalid continuation byte

I use Python3 and Bottle at Windows10.

Answer 1

Use the following in the first line of your code

#encoding: utf-8

This is required if you use strings with unicode data like Olé, Aló and so...

Also I recommend you to review for strange characters in your code.
