New submission from Roger Serwy <roger.se...@gmail.com>: Per Martin's request, this issue has been separated from Issue14200.
The IDLE shell presently has an effective locale of "BMP UTF8" due to a limitation in Tkinter, described in Issue12342. IDLE should support different output codecs, like "ascii" and "utf8". In order to work around Tkinter's limitations, unsupported characters would be replaced (this is related to #14304). This amounts to adding some extra code to OutputWindow's write() to raise encoding errors if the string contains unsupported characters. ---------- components: IDLE messages: 155939 nosy: serwy priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: IDLE - allow shell to support different locales type: enhancement versions: Python 3.3 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue14326> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
