Hi everyone!
We have been trying to run the notebook for days but have run into this error :
"An error occurred when preparing an object. UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte ..."
While we manage to make it disappear with
import sys
reload(sys)
sys.setdefaultencoding("UTF8")
this hack results in no text output... We have tried everything from miniconda with python 2.7 , anaconda with both versions of python, all with both versions in virtual env so there is literally nothing more to be tried in this way. It was run on a macbook.
Has anyone encountered the same problem and found a way to fix it? Or did you use a different way and didn't get this error?
