Hello Walter,
I don't see that as a good solution, since every Python software that is internationalizaed will have do figure out this wrapping, introducing extra overhead unnecessarily.
This wrapping is probably necessary for stateful encodings. If you had a sys.stdout.encoding=="utf-16", print would probably add the BOM every time a unicode object is printed. This doesn't happen if you wrap sys.stdout in a StreamWriter.
I'm not sure this is an issue for a terminal output stream, which is the case I'm trying to find a solution for. Otherwise, Python would already be in trouble for using this scheme in the print statement. Can you show an example of the print statement not working?
No, I can't. Python doesn't accept UTF-16 as encoding.
This works: > LANG=de_DE.UTF-8 python2.4 Python 2.4 (#1, Nov 30 2004, 14:16:24) [GCC 2.96 20000731 (Red Hat Linux 7.3 2.96-113)] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import sys >>> sys.stdout.encoding 'UTF-8'
This doesn't: > LANG=de_DE.UTF-16 python2.4 Python 2.4 (#1, Nov 30 2004, 14:16:24) [GCC 2.96 20000731 (Red Hat Linux 7.3 2.96-113)] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import sys >>> sys.stdout.encoding 'ANSI_X3.4-1968'
Bye, Walter Dörwald
