After executing the code:

import urllib.request fhand = urllib.request.urlopen('https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address=Запорожье')

the compiler generates a whole tirade with the error "UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec

Latin recognizes. Tried to encode and decode and can not be overcome. Python 3.5, which fully must "support" unicode.

You can use urllib.parse.quote () to encode the part of the URL containing UTF-8.

 import urllib.request from urllib.parse import quote url = 'https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address=' + quote('Запорожье') fhand = urllib.request.urlopen(url)

    I decided using urllib.parse.urlencode() :

     #!/usr/bin/env python3 import urllib.parse api_key = 'key...' addr = 'Запорожье' base_url = 'https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?' params = urllib.parse.urlencode({'address':addr ,'key': api_key}) url = base_url + params
