Isn't that the exception rather than the rule? I think it actually makes sense, in at least 99.83% of cases ;-), to have a common encoding setting for all streams. (I'm not sure about the "errors" setting, though: should we use strict for stdin/stdout and backslashreplace for stderr, as the interpreter does?) Perhaps the common case should be made extra easy. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue6135> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
