Kuang-che Wu <k...@csie.org> added the comment: There is slight difference between C and python patch. C version: convert mbcs argument to unicode py version: convert unicode argument to mbcs
Actually, python version patch may not work if the string is unicode and cannot encoded by mbcs. For example, my windows system is Chinese (cp950) and the program I want to execute contains Japanese characters. Encode Japanese characters with mbcs (in this case, it is cp950) will fail. This is also what Matt (mclausch) said. On the other hand, the C version patch. I don't think fall-back is necessary. If the string is failed to convert from mbcs to unicode, it will be eventually failed inside CreateProcessA() because CreateProcessA internally (after win2k) will try to convert from mbcs to unicode and call CreateProcessW. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue1759845> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
