I tried the patch using a script with unicode characters (character
not representable in ISO-8859-1 like polish characters ł and Ł).
Result in an UTF-8 terminal (my default locale):
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "unicode.py", line 2, in <module>
raise ValueError("unicode: Łł")
ValueError: unicode: Łł
=> correct
Result in an ISO-8859-1 terminal (I changed the encoding in my Konsole
configuration):
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "unicode.py", line 2, in <module>
raise ValueError("unicode: \u0141\u0142")
ValueError: unicode: \u0141\u0142
=> correct
Why does it work? It's because PyErr_Display() uses sys.stderr instead
of sys.stdout and sys.stderr uses a different unicode error mechanism:
>>> import sys
>>> sys.stdout.errors
'strict'
>>> sys.stderr.errors
'backslashreplace'
Which is a great idea :-)
You can try on Windows using the new attached file unicode.py.
