Package: cython
Version: 0.9.8-1
Severity: normal
Cython does not accept Unicode docstrings in .pyx files. I have attached a
sample session with a .pyx file, where I define a function with a docstring
containing Greek characters. The file's contents are in UTF-8. What is more,
instead of an error message, I got a python traceback! This problem does not
show up with comments in Unicode or other string literals.
$ cat bug.pyx
def hello():
'''Γειά σου, κόσμε!'''
print 'Hello, world!'
$ cython bug.pyx
