'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\x82' in position 42: ordinal not in range(128)

HTTP code: 500, type: UnicodeEncodeError

I get this error when launching a prediction model.

This is probably due to a column name containing an accent (like “é”). Try renaming the column.

To use a specific encoding (e.g. 'utf-8') use the encoding argument for pandas to csv:

df.to_csv(file_name, sep='\t', encoding='utf-8')
