How to set sys.stdout encoding in Python 3?
Setting the default output encoding in Python 2 is a well-known idiom:

How to get string objects instead of Unicode from JSON?
I’m using Python 2 to parse JSON from ASCII encoded text files.

I got an error with the following exception message:
Normalizing Unicode
Is there a standard way, in Python, to normalize a unicode string, so that it only comprehends the simplest unicode entities that can be used to represent it ?
Python regex matching Unicode properties
Perl and some other current regex engines support Unicode properties, such as the category, in a regex. E.g. in Perl you can use p{Ll} to match an arbitrary lower-case letter, or p{Zs} for any space separator. I don’t see support for this in either the 2.x nor 3.x lines of Python (with due regrets). Is anybody aware of a good strategy to get a similar effect? Homegrown solutions are welcome.
Unicode (UTF-8) reading and writing to files in Python
I’m having some brain failure in understanding reading and writing text to a file (Python 2.4).
How can I convert surrogate pairs to normal string in Python?

removing emojis from a string in Python
I found this code in Python for removing emojis but it is not working. Can you help with other codes or fix to this?
Writing Unicode text to a text file?
I’m pulling data out of a Google doc, processing it, and writing it to a file (that eventually I will paste into a WordPress page).
Replace non-ASCII characters with a single space
I need to replace all non-ASCII (x00-x7F) characters with a space. I’m surprised that this is not dead-easy in Python, unless I’m missing something. The following function simply removes all non-ASCII characters:
