UnicodeDecodeError

[mathskyit]

I test this code by IDLE. my code file is encoded by UTF-8:

from langdetect import detect_langs

print detect_langs('こんにちは')

And got an error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\TUAN\Desktop\test.py", line 3, in <module>
    print detect_langs('こんにちは')
  File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\langdetect\detector_factory.py", line 137, in detect_langs
    return detector.get_probabilities()

I see you are using Python 2.7. In that case, your code should be:

from langdetect import detect_langs

print detect_langs(u'こんにちは')  # unicode string should be written as u'...'
