python exceptions.UnicodeDecodeError：’ascii’编解码器无法解码字节0xa7

我正在使用scthon与
python,我在
python项目pipline中有这个代码

def process_item(self,item,spider):
        import pdb; pdb.set_trace()
        ID = str(uuid.uuid5(uuid.NAMESPACE_DNS,item['link']))

我收到了这个错误：

我试图调试项目[‘link’]

这就是结果

-> ID = str(uuid.uuid5(uuid.NAMESPACE_DNS,item['link']))
(Pdb) item['link']
u'http://dubai.dubizzle.com/property-for-rent/residential/apartmentflat/2014/4/6
/palm-jumeirah-abu-keibal-3-br-maid-partial-2/?back=ZHViYWkuZHViaXp6bGUuY29tL3By
b3BlcnR5LWZvci1yZW50L3Jlc2lkZW50aWFsL2FwYXJ0bWVudGZsYXQv&pos=1'
(Pdb)

如你所见,项目[‘link’]是unicode

EDIT1

当我将项目[‘link’]更改为任何其他属性(如item [‘date’]时,代码完美无缺

解决方法

使用.encode(‘utf-8’)将unicode字符串编码为字节字符串,它应该工作：

str(uuid.uuid5(uuid.NAMESPACE_DNS,item['link'].encode('utf-8')))
