How to obtain string from TextCursor whenever it is double clicked

[naoyamakino]

Hi there, when user double clicks on QTextCursor in QTextEdit, I am looking for a way to get a string from that QTextCursor.

class ContactsView(QtGui.QTextEdit):
    def __init__(self, parent=None):
        QtGui.QTextEdit.__init__(self, parent)
        #some initialization 
 
    def insert(self, name):
        cursor = self.textCursor()
        path = "image/icons/Messenger_blue32.png"
        icon = QtGui.QPixmap(path)
        image = icon.toImage()
        cursor.insertImage(image)
        cursor.insertText(name)
        self.setTextCursor(cursor)
        self.ensureCursorVisible()
        end = "<br />"
        fragment = QtGui.QTextDocumentFragment.fromHtml(end)
        self.textCursor().insertFragment(fragment)
 
    def mouseDoubleClickEvent(self,event):
        cursor = self.cursorForPosition(event.pos())
        BlockUnderCursor = 2
        cursor.select(BlockUnderCursor)
        name = cursor.selectedText()
        print name

class ContactsView(QtGui.QTextEdit):
    def __init__(self, parent=None):
        QtGui.QTextEdit.__init__(self, parent)
        #some initialization 

    def insert(self, name):
        cursor = self.textCursor()
        path = "image/icons/Messenger_blue32.png"
        icon = QtGui.QPixmap(path)
        image = icon.toImage()
        cursor.insertImage(image)
        cursor.insertText(name)
        self.setTextCursor(cursor)
        self.ensureCursorVisible()
        end = "<br />"
        fragment = QtGui.QTextDocumentFragment.fromHtml(end)
        self.textCursor().insertFragment(fragment)

    def mouseDoubleClickEvent(self,event):
        cursor = self.cursorForPosition(event.pos())
        BlockUnderCursor = 2
        cursor.select(BlockUnderCursor)
        name = cursor.selectedText()
        print name

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

and when I run this program, I am getting this run time error;

ContactsView.py", line 24, in mouseDoubleClickEvent
print name
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\ufffc' in position 0: ordinal not in range(128)

I believe I am getting this error because there are more than strings in cursor.
all I am interested is that I want to get a string from TextCursor whenever it is double clicked.
Could anyone give me an advise? any inputs would be very appreciated.
thank you for consideration.

regards
Naoya
