QWeb report - unicode issue

Question

purchase order line has a field "name" witch is the SKU + Product Name +',' + suppliers product desc.
if I split name on ',' and print the supplier product desc. part of the array it writes a string starting with u' (unicode)
how do i encode the string so it is printed correct?

Prints something like:
[SKU-123] Product Name
[u'Vendors product description \u0142a + bla bla']

How do print it correctly?

Subhanullah · Answer

Try this,
unicode_string = unicode_string. encode('ascii','ignore')

Here I update my answer, you cant encode the list object, you need to encode the list elements, i.e. list[0], list[1] or in whatever index that your target value is sitting.
list_element = list_element[0]. encode('ascii','ignore')

QWebException: 'list' object has no attribute 'encode'
