Here array has the special character.How can I solve this

Answer 1

Just try this in python2.7 :

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
Address = ['fâch', 'Pyrénées']
for i in Address:
     print i

The commented line should be in top of the file.

Answer 2

You can use like this:

Address=['fâch','Pyrénées']
for i in Address:
    value = unicode(i, 'utf-8')
    print value

This should help.
