STINNER Victor <victor.stin...@haypocalc.com> added the comment: About the topic: > subprocess seems to use local 8-bit encoding and gives no choice I don't understand that: by default, Python 2 and Python 3 use byte strings, so there is no encoding (nor error handler).
I don't see how you can get unicode from a process only using subprocess. But with Python 3, you can get unicode if you set universal_newlines option to True. So for Python 2, it's a new feature (get unicode), and for Python 3, it's a new option to specify the encoding. The title should be changed to something like "subprocess: add an option to specify stdin, stdout and/or stderr encoding and errors" and the type should be changed to "feature request". Or am I completly wrong? ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue6135> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
