Python crawler reports errors for some Chinese characters

[yliu315]

I have a python crawler that downloads Baidu index data for the search keywords I provide. It works for most Chinese characters. When it comes to some characters, python shows the "invalid literal for int() with base 10: ''" error. I have checked several times and make sure there is no empty space, but the error remains.

The code:

    appended_data.append(data)

appended_data = pd.concat(appended_data)
appended_data.to_csv('Baidu_Index.csv')

For example, in the name list, the first two "万科", "宝钢股份" work but the last two "宁波华翔", "邯郸钢铁" don't.

It would be really appreciated if someone could help! Thanks!
