There is currently a unit test in the trunk that fails in verbose mode: $ ./python.exe Lib/test/test_doctest.py -v ... UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode characters in position 338-339: ordinal not in range(128)
Apparently, the problem is that stdout cannot encode non-ascii characters: >>> sys.stdout.write(u'f\xf6\xf6') Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode characters in position 1-2: ordinal not in range(128) which is strange because >>> sys.stdout.encoding 'UTF-8' and print has no problem with the same string: >>> print u'f\xf6\xf6' föö Where does 'ascii' codec come from? _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
