SyntaxError:Non-ASCII character "\xa3"

This error occurs when a non-ASCII character is used in a Python script, and the script is not properly encoded or declared as using a specific encoding. The "\xa3" character represents the British pound symbol (£), which is not a standard ASCII character.

To fix this error, you can add an encoding declaration at the top of your Python script, like this:

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

This tells Python to interpret the script using the UTF-8 character encoding, which supports non-ASCII characters. Alternatively, you can replace the non-ASCII character with its ASCII equivalent or escape sequence. For example, you could replace the pound symbol with the string "\u00A3", which represents the Unicode code point for the symbol.
