Python: 'list' object has no attribute 'read'
<p>I have a list with a single string that contains non-ascii characters. My goal is to get rid of the non-ascii characters and convert the list to a string.  </p>

<p>Every time I try to strip out the non-ascii characters, I get this error: <code>'list' object has no attribute 'read'</code>  </p>

<p>I've tried most of <a href="http://stackoverflow.com/questions/638893/what-is-the-most-efficient-way-in-python-to-convert-a-string-to-all-lowercase-str#answer-639325">these</a> and I still get this error every time. I'm not sure what I am doing wrong, any help would be appreciated.  </p>
