3 Ways to Handle non UTF-8 Characters in Pandas
chardet is a library for decoding characters, once installed you can use the following to determine encoding:
-
In MySQL, never use “utf8”. Use “utf8mb4”
The craziest issue I had was I couldn't predict what char encoding the text in my database was in. Most users entered Windows-1252, some text blobs were UTF-16, others were European character sets, and some were UTF-8. Some were Japanese SHIFT_JIS. Don't ask me how any of this happened. I retrospect, I should have dumped all the tables from MySQL and used the excellent PyPy Chardet [1] library to see what I was dealing with, do the conversions and then re-import the data. But then someone could copy UTF-16 from a Windows document and paste it in, so you have to convert going in to the database.
You have set Apache to UTF-8, PHP to UTF-8, MySQL to UTF-8, and the MySQL driver you are using to UTF-8. It's not clear how these setting interact. Are there silent conversions happening or do you always have to detect the encoding on data coming from the server? HTML pages have a character encoding specifier, but the BOM at the start of the file takes precedence (I think.) I got it to work by always detecting encoding for any text coming from the database and using iconv, but this turned out to be really slow and unreliable. It was truly the biggest mess by an order of magnitude than any other programming problem I faced in my career.
Would not attempt again.

Revived the promise made six years ago for Requests 3
For many years now, Requests has been frozen. Being left in a vegetative state and not evolving, this blocked millions of developers from using more advanced features.

urllib3 v2.0.0 is now generally available!
It's Lukasa (his name is Cory, there's Łukasz in PSF though, but that's a different person). Looking at him, he made significant contributions to the requests repo: https://github.com/psf/requests/graphs/contributors

Trying to install autoscan from https://github.com/NiNiyas/autoscan and stuck with no idea what the problem is.
Looking around for similar errors I found this issue where they recommended trying to use a newer version of the urllib3 library.

but I appreciate the fact that there is an issue about it, it's acknowledged and .. unfixable, it would now break too many things https://github.com/psf/requests/issues/2002
