python csv encoding writerow -


using web2py on windows 2008 server have following problem

i creating csv document json , when writting list file following error. crashes on csv writerow

<type 'exceptions.unicodeencodeerror'> 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\\u010c'

it works ok on computer. windows 7 on server have encoding problems

any suggestions? thank you

my code creating file following

datadict = json.loads(data.replace("'", "\"")) path = path scriptname = os.path.join(path, id + 'script.txt') file = open(scriptname, 'wb')  output = csv.writer(file, delimiter='\t')  ##month hours file.write("begin month_hours \r\n") file.write("delavec    mesec    month_hours_min    month_hours_max\r\n") rec in datadict["mandatory"]:     output.writerow(rec) file.write("\r\nend month_hours \r\n")

json strings unicode values , need encoded when writing csv file. if don't explicitly, python use ascii codec. that's fine if data contains text in ascii range fails when encounter data beyond that.

pick different encoding , encode explicitly; utf-8 encoding pick:

for rec in datadict["mandatory"]:     output.writerow([unicode(c).encode('utf8') c in rec])

i first convert values unicode(), in case have data in there that's not unicode() value; numbers or booleans or none example. result explicitly encoded utf-8.

javascript - Highcharts multi-color line -

Image
i looking create highchart multi-colored line. if goes down under value, become red, , when comes on value, become green . here picture example: or maybe highcharts have other charts models differentiate high or low level color? you can achieve coloring using lineargradient coloring: color: { lineargradient: { x1: 0, x2: 0, y1: 0, y2: 1 }, stops: [ [0, 'red'], [0.25, 'yellow'], [0.50, 'green'], [0.75, 'yellow'], [1, 'red'] ] } here 0 in stops relates minimum value of series , 1 maximum value, , in between percentages between values. if find percentages according values prior creating chart use correct stops values make relate specific values in data (at least approximately). see this jsfiddle example .
