scrapy pipeline to JSON with Chinese characters












2















I'm trying to scrapy some web contents with Chinese character. the content scraped like below



2018-11-20 12:42:18 [scrapy.core.scraper] DEBUG: Scraped from <200  https://cn.bing.com/dict/search?q=tool&FORM=BDVSP6&mkt=zh-cn>
{'defBing': '工具;方法;受人利用的人',
'defWeb': '工具;方法;受人利用的人',
'pClass': 'n.',
'prUK': 'UKxa0[tuːl]',
'prUS': 'USxa0[tul]',
'word': 'tool'}


But after the pipeline process, the content has been like this:



{
"word": "tool",
"prUS": "USu00a0[tul]",
"prUK": "UKu00a0[tuu02d0l]",
"pClass": "n.",
"defBing": "u5de5u5177uff1bu65b9u6cd5uff1bu53d7u4ebau5229u7528u7684u4eba",
"defWeb": "u5de5u5177uff1bu65b9u6cd5uff1bu53d7u4ebau5229u7528u7684u4eba"
}


The pipeline looks like:



class JsonWriterPipeline(object):
def open_spider(self, spider):
self.file = open('log/DICT.%s.json' % time.strftime('%Y%m%d-%H%M%S', time.localtime()), 'tw')

def close_spider(self, spider):
self.file.close()

def process_item(self, item, spider):
try:
line = json.dumps(dict(item), indent=4) + "n"
self.file.write(line)
except Exception as e:
print(e)
return item


my question is: how can I keep the Chinese character printed as-is in the *.json file? I really don't want those encoded Unicode characters :)

          It seems like the json lib escape those symbols, try to add ensure_ascii=False to json.dumps() as follow:
