You need to do encode on tmp 0   not on tmp   tmp is not a string   It contains a  Unicode  string   Try running type tmp  and print dir tmp  to see it for yourself

You need to unicode each element of the list individually       x encode  utf-8   for x in tmp

[python] AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'encode'
