MediaFileUpload of HTML in UTF-8 encoding using Python and Google-Drive-SDK
- by Victoria
Looking for example using MediaFileUpload has a reference to the basic documentation for creating/uploading a file to Google Drive.
However, while I have code that creates files, converting from HTML to Google Doc format. It works perfectly when they contain only ASCII characters, but when I add a non-ASCII character, it fails, with the following traceback:
Traceback (most recent call last):

I don't find any parameter to use to specify what file encoding should be used by MediaFileUpload (My files are using UTF-8). Am I missing something?
