#opening Html file using python

Apparently your file has a different encoding than utf8.

Alright thanks for your kind response .pls what do you suggest could be the soln

Add an encoding= argument to open(). I don’t know what the right value would be though.

Actually the stack trace implies that it errored trying to encode using cp1252, you you might have better luck explicitly trying utf8.
