[BMP utf8] That's indeed the approach that Andrew and I were discussing. Unfortunately, there is no codec for it yet. We were discussing to add a "utf8bom" encoding to Python. This is a medium-sized project, though (and again out of scope for this issue). > If so, would it be reasonable to add a menu item to switch locales > for the shell?

Please open a separate issue for this. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue14200> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
