This script was tested only with Python 3.4+ - can't comment on Python 2.x
If you want to stay with Python 2.x / can't update to 3.x etc you can try to remove this part:

, encoding='utf-8'

and see if that helps.

Though ideally you would run it with Python3.

I re-install py3 and this time had a new situation ， seem not work again：
`Installing easy_install-3.5.exe.manifest script to C:\Python3\Scripts

Using c:\python3\lib\site-packages
Finished processing dependencies for ass==0.4.2

Hmm can you provide the ass-file? I don't see anything obvious that would cause this error.

When I run it via
sub2xml.py 1.ass

I get:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "D:\github\sub2xml\sub2xml.py", line 40, in <module> input_sub = sys.argv[1] IndexError: list index out of range

However with:
python sub2xml.py 1.ass

it works:

[#################################################] 99.9%

 XML-file: 1.xml
 Project folder: D:\github\sub2xml\premiere_proj_0856-37
 Subs folder: D:\github\sub2xml\premiere_proj_0856-37\subs

 ---FINISHED---

Press <ENTER> to open project dir

This is because of sys.argv[1] etc.

I guess I should update the script to properly use argparse or something like it. Can you try with the command above and see if it helps?

It successfully created, but I found another problem that the PRTL template is encoded in the utf-16, but the encoding for the ass subtitle is utf-8, I try to change either of them, and the program do not work(UnicodeDecodeError), when I generating Chinese characters (simplified Chinese), it's going to fail, part of word show "□□". But it does worked perfect in English.

[pyahmed]

The PRTL has to be UTF-16LE encoded, this is a requirement by Adobe Premiere.

I checked the .ass file and there are only Chinese characters in the defined styles, but there are none within the actual subs.

All subs are using the default style. As stated in the README, this script ignores any styling, it just dumps the text from the subtitle into the PRTL files.

If you have a sample .ass file with Chinese characters I can try it here.

Since there is no further issue I will close this.
