UnicodeDecodeEr ror: 'big5hkscs' codec can't decode bytes in position
958-959: illegal multibyte sequence


Wt can I do, since there is some characters, is there any solutions to
solve it???

thx

Other than requiring valid input?
You can choose a more lenient decoding strategy, e. g.:

sresult = sresult.decode( 'zh-hk', "replace")

>>help(s.decode )

Help on built-in function decode:

decode(...)
S.decode([encoding[,errors]]) -object

Decodes S using the codec registered for encoding. encoding defaults
to the default encoding. errors may be given to set a different error
handling scheme. Default is 'strict' meaning that encoding errors raise
a UnicodeDecodeEr ror. Other possible values are 'ignore' and 'replace'
as well as any other name registerd with codecs.register _error that is
able to handle UnicodeDecodeEr rors.
