[issue40435] IDLE should catch user config file UnicodeDecodeError
左迟 added the comment: Hi! Thanks for your useful comment. And I'm sorry for uploading the image but not pasting it in the comment. When I append "encoding=utf-8" to ~/.idlerc/config-main.cfg, the idle turns to be good and works well. Yes, the "[] Beta: Use Unicode UTF8 for worldwide language support" is what I mean. The reason why I raise this issue is there is no searching results for this error messgae. In fact, my OS language is Chinese. And I tick the beta UTF8 option manually. It seems like that causes the IDLE crash. Really thanks for your help! Best Regards, Chi. -- resolution: -> not a bug stage: test needed -> resolved status: open -> closed versions: -Python 3.8, Python 3.9 ___ Python tracker <https://bugs.python.org/issue40435> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
