Hi I tried what you did (I use Windows 7)
>>> import locale >>> import sys >>> locale.getpreferredencoding() 'cp1252' >>> sys.getdefaultencoding() 'ascii' Then I tested setting the env variable. set LANG=swedish_sweden.1252 The tested the above commands again: >>> import locale >>> import sys >>> locale.getpreferredencoding() 'cp1252' Same after setting LANG as below set LANG=sve_swe.1252 I tried BE list but I still get the same error message. Before I added a bug with Swedish characters I could list the bugs but now it is not possible any longer. Is there a way to continue using this "database" or do I have to start over from the beginning? Best regards Anders Sneckenborg 2011/3/19 W.
