Encoding error? #2

Closed frogpelt closed 7 years ago

frogpelt commented 7 years ago

I commented out lines 14, 27, 28 to see why it wouldn't work and I get this error.

File "WikiQuiz-master/python/server.py", line 15, in get_quiz a = Article(article_name) File "WikiQuiz-master/python/Article.py", line 19, in __init__ self.page.summary.encode('ascii', 'ignore')) File "WikiQuiz-master/python/Article.py", line 54, in generate_questions_for sec.replace(")", "("))[0::2]) TypeError: a bytes-like object is required, not 'str'

I printed 'sec' and I do get text from the Wiki article but it fails on the first call to generate_questions_for()

This is because secis bytes when it comes back. I was able to resolve this by throwing in a .decode("utf-8").
