Instapy: How to Add a Korean Tag?

Created on 15 Nov 2017 · 5Comments · Source: timgrossmann/InstaPy

Expected Behavior

Using quickstart.py I tried inserting a Korean hashtag expecting it to run like it did with English tags.

Current Behavior

The error I get is: SyntaxError: Non-ASCII character

Possible Solution (optional)

I'm new to coding and I have a feeling I have to convert(?) or allow(?) the program to identify with Non-ASCII characters. Can anybody direct me to a source so as to learn how to do this?

InstaPy configuration

Just add these lines to quickstart.py and instapy.py:

# -*- coding: UTF-8 -*-
import sys
reload(sys)
sys.setdefaultencoding('utf-8')

@kimelbert have you tried adding the tag in the form of u'koran_tag'?

Note the u before the string quotes here

@timgrossmann hey that didn't work. The way I made it work was to comment line 554 (instapy.py) so it doesn't delete white space. It's inefficient because I have to uncomment this line of code to change it to english, but it works. Thanks for commenting Tim. Really enjoy using instapy.
