这是一个用 Python 编写的 ScraperWiki 刮板：

import lxml.html
import scraperwiki
from unidecode import unidecode

html = scraperwiki.scrape("http://www.timeshighereducation.co.uk/world-university-rankings/2012-13/world-ranking/range/001-200")
root = lxml.html.fromstring(html)
for tr in root.cssselect("table.ranking tr"):
    if len(tr.cssselect("td.rank")) > 0 and len(tr.cssselect("td.uni")) > 0:
        university = unidecode(tr.cssselect("td.uni")[0].text_content()).strip().title()
        if 'cole' in university:
            print university

它产生以下输出：

Ecole Polytechnique Federale De Lausanne
Ecole Normale Superieure
Acole Polytechnique
Ecole Normale Superieure De Lyon

我的问题：是什么导致第三个输出行上的初始字符呈现为“A”而不是“E”，我怎样才能阻止这种情况发生？

根据上面soulseekah的有用评论，以及此处和此处的lxml文档，以下解决方案有效：

import lxml.html
import scraperwiki
from unidecode import unidecode
from BeautifulSoup import UnicodeDammit

def decode_html(html_string):
    converted = UnicodeDammit(html_string, isHTML=True)
    if not converted.unicode:
        raise UnicodeDecodeError(
            "Failed to detect encoding, tried [%s]",
            ', '.join(converted.triedEncodings))
    return converted.unicode

html = scraperwiki.scrape("http://www.timeshighereducation.co.uk/world-university-rankings/2012-13/world-ranking/range/001-200")
root = lxml.html.fromstring(decode_html(html))
for tr in root.cssselect("table.ranking tr"):
    if len(tr.cssselect("td.rank")) > 0 and len(tr.cssselect("td.uni")) > 0:
        university = unidecode(tr.cssselect("td.uni")[0].text_content()).strip().title()
        if 'cole' in university:
            print university
