pythonmacospython-2.7unsupportedoperation

Code is not working on an mac OSX with python 2.7.12


I want to use this code for my data distribution, but I can't save the file or when I run this in python directly I got this error:

Unsupported characters in input

I think this code is generated on a windows environment and this is not working for macOSX. I installed all necessary packages.

Solution

  • Code is only running under spyder or IPython!
