R. David Murray added the comment: Interesting, I didn't even know (remember?) about the -U flag, and it isn't documented. I guess we don't test it, and I suppose that it is effectively deprecated. (So others who don't remember don't need to repeat my research: it turns all string literals into unicode literals, which function was added as an experimental tool by Marc Andre in 2000. I believe it was later superseded by 'from __future__ import unicode_literals', but I didn't research that part.)
This works fine on linux, and the traceback looks like it involves some windows-specific code. I'm not sure if this is worth bothering to fix. ---------- nosy: +r.david.murray _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue25581> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
