New submission from Swapneel Ambre: On Windows, using zipimport module APIs like get_filename on a file with non-ascii characters in the full path fails with
UnicodeEncodeError: 'mbcs' codec can't encode characters in position 0--1: invalid character ( Full output attached in errorlog.txt ). The issue is that Modules/zipimport.c has a function compile_source which tries to run PyUnicode_EncodeFSDefault on the pathname. On Windows, the default encoding is 'mbcs' which cannot handle unicode characters. This has already been fixed in the import machinery on python 3 ( see issue http://bugs.python.org/issue13758, http://bugs.python.org/issue11619). The solution is to pass the pathname as Unicode directly to the compiler. ---------- components: Unicode, Windows files: errorlog.txt messages: 234786 nosy: amswap, ezio.melotti, haypo, steve.dower, tim.golden, zach.ware priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: zipimport to import from non-ascii pathname on Windows type: crash versions: Python 3.4 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file37872/errorlog.txt _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue23327> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
