Re: A Problem about UnicodeEncodeError

Thank you for your help.

But my project is not in the desktop folder.

I'll show you the traceback information:

If you look at the path displayed in that ticket and pointed to by the
little blue arrow, you can see the Django project ("myfirstapp") is
created in the desktop folder.

I believe that is the problem. The desktop is a magic place in Windows
and I have no doubt that Microsoft uses "special" characters in the path
so it recognises the desktop to perform its magic.

It is probably mis-recognised by Python as a 'mbcs' encoding and causes
the error.

I have been using Python 2 and 3 on Windows for years without problems -
which knowing Microsoft I consider to be something of a miracle!

Move your project off the desktop and you won't need any workarounds.
