BeautifulSoup error

[William Xu]

Hi, all,

This piece of code used to work well. i guess the error occurs after
some upgrade.

>>> import urllib
>>> from BeautifulSoup import BeautifulSoup
>>> url = 'http://www.google.com'
>>> port = urllib.urlopen(url).read()
>>> soup = BeautifulSoup()
>>> soup.feed(port)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
  File "/usr/lib/python2.3/sgmllib.py", line 94, in feed
    self.rawdata = self.rawdata + data
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xb8 in position 565: ordinal not in range(128)
>>>

Any ideas to solve this?
