Hi Everyone, I am doing two versions of the same experiment. one is running correctly, the other one, which has the exact same code can’t run and I receive this message: File “…”, line 137, in show_instructions_and_wait instructions_text, is_reward = get_random_cont_instructions(instruction_list) File “…”, line 132, in get_random_cont_instructions print(“instruction text is %s. id is %s” % (text, id)) UnicodeEncodeError: ‘ascii’ codec can’t encode character ‘\xa3’ in position 164: ordinal not in range(128) The code in question that does’t work is this: def get_random_instructions(instruction_list): result = random.choice(instruction_list) text = result[0] id = result[1] print(“instruction text is %s. id is %s” % (text, id)) return text, id def show_instructions_and_wait(window): instruction_list = [(INSTRUCTIONS_REWARD_CONTR, True), (INSTRUCTIONS_PUNISHMENT_CONTR, False)] instructions_text, is_reward = get_random_instructions(instruction_list) text_stim = psychopy.visual.TextStim( win=window, text=instructions_text, color=(-1, -1, -1), height=30.0) text_stim.draw(window) window.flip() psychopy.event.waitKeys(keyList=[‘space’]) print(“user pressed space -> go to next step !”) return is_reward Can someone help me?
