the special chars generate errors:
if stdout is pipelined, python tries to encode its output

from locale import getpreferredencoding
from sys import stdout
try:
     STDOUTENCODING = stdout.encoding
except AttributeError:
     STDOUTENCODING = None
if not STDOUTENCODING:
     STDOUTENCODING = getpreferredencoding()

def kprint(*args, **kwargs):
     """a wrapper around print, always encoding unicode to something sensible"""
     newArgs = [unicode(x).encode(STDOUTENCODING) for x in args]
     # we need * magic: pylint: disable=W0142
     print(*newArgs, sep=kwargs.get('sep', ' '), end=kwargs.get('end', '\n'), 
file=kwargs.get('file'))


Thanks for tips and solutions.
I added at the top of the script

reload(sys)
sys.setdefaultencoding( 'ISO8859-1' )

and that solves the problem. It now shows German and French accented chars correctly both when run from Eric4 and from the console.

I found this solution some time ago when I was having problems with processing Cyrillic attachments. It feels a bit like a not too elegant brute force solution. Should I make an attempt in the style that Tobias suggests??

Cheers, Janwillem
