I have a dictionary in a specific file, when I try to run it from other file importing it:

import resultado
print ( resultado.dic["10101027"])

I have the following error:

SyntaxError: (unicode error) 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xba in position 38: invalid start byte

resultado file:

dic = {

"10101027":"UNIDAD EDUCATIVA DISTRITAL ANTONIO ORNESBARRIO SAN JOSE COTIZA FRENTE CALLE LOS EUCALIPTUS. DERECHA ESCALERA SAN MARCOS. IZQUIERDA ESCALERA SAN JUDA FRENTE AL PARQUE ANDRES GALARRAGA EDIFICIO",

The message seems pretty clear, at least with respect to the limited amount of information you provide: you've got a byte 186 (0xba) in one of the files, which means Python fails to parse the file as UTF-8.

In ISO-8859-1, 0xba is "º", so if you see this character (likely in a string) when opening files it's possible that your editor automatically infers encoding when not UTF-8, and that the file is either mis-written or mis-declared as UTF-8.

Without the exact file content as-is (copy/paste might be subject to automated transcoding from your editor) it's hard to say more. You may want to run the file utility on your various files to see what that says though.
