Steven Bethard <steven.beth...@gmail.com> added the comment: Are you sure this is an argparse issue, and not a terminal issue? Here's what I see:
>>> parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(description=u'Rus Рус') >>> print(parser.description) Rus Рус >>> sys.stderr.write(parser.description) Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode characters in position 4-6: ordinal not in range(128) >>> parser.format_help() u'usage: [-h]\n\nRus \u0420\u0443\u0441\n\noptional arguments:\n -h, --help show this help message and exit\n' >>> sys.stderr.write(parser.format_help()) Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode characters in position 17-19: ordinal not in range(128) To me, it looks like sys.stderr doesn't like the unicode, even though at the interactive prompt I can print things okay. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue9779> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
