Hi, I have a question related to GTK and encoding. I'm working on a pygtk app that's connecting to a server and uses urlencode, if I just try to encode strings with unicode characters I get UnicodeEncodeError from urlencode by default. But if I import gtk before doing the conversion it looks like the string is encoded to UTF-8 on the fly and the conversion works. Does gtk set the default encoding to UTF-8 and how can I do it myself without importing gtk?
I'm using Python 2.4.2 and pygtk 2.8.6 on windows. See example below:
from urllib import urlencode urlencode({'test'+unichr(0xA5):'test'})
Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in ? File "C:\Python24\lib\urllib.py", line 1151, in urlencode k = quote_plus(str(k)) UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xa5' in position 4: ordinal not in range(128)
import gtk urlencode({'test'+unichr(0xA5):'test'})
'test%C2%A5=test' Thanks for all your hard work, Fredrik _______________________________________________ pygtk mailing list [email protected] http://www.daa.com.au/mailman/listinfo/pygtk Read the PyGTK FAQ: http://www.async.com.br/faq/pygtk/
