plt.saveFigure to path containing Chinese characters show UnicodeEncodeError












0















I am using matplotlib.pyplot to draw figure and then save to a path. Unfortunately, when i save the figure to a path containing Chinese characters which is not ascii character, UnicodeEncodeError happens.



import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

x_list = [1, 2, 3]
y_list = [3, 4, 6]
plt.plot(x_list, y_list, 'ro')
plt.savefig("/home/easygo/train/datasets/paper_can/scatter/蒙牛纯牛奶-9807.png")


The entire error message is:



UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode characters in position 46-50: ordinal not in range(128)


I searched on google but ended with no answer.



p.s.



system ubuntu 16.04
matplotlib 2.2.2
python 3.6.5

  • Cannot reproduce. Can the filesystem handle unicode characters in file names?
