Oh, I agree - poking it in directly was a desperation measure if the
path_hooks machinery didn't like Unicode either.
I've since gone and looked, and you may be screwed either way - the standard
import paths appear to be always put on the system path as encoded 8-bit
strings, not as Unicode objects.
That said, it also appears that the existing machinery *should* be able to
handle non-ASCII path items, so long as 'Py_FileSystemDefaultEncoding' is set
correctly. If it isn't handling it, then there's something else going wrong.
Modules/getpath.c and friends don't encode the results returned by the
platform APIs, so the strings in
Kristján, can you provide more details on the fault you get when trying to
import from the path containing the Chinese characters? Specifically:
What is the actual file system path?
What do sys.prefix, sys.exec_prefix and sys.path contain?
What does sys.getdefaultencoding() return?
What do sys.stdin.encoding, sys.stdout.encoding and sys.stderr.encoding say?
What does "python -v" show?
Does adding the standard lib directories manually to sys.path make any
difference?
Does setting PYTHONHOME to the appropriate settings make any difference?
Running something like the following would be good:
import sys
print "Prefixes:", sys.prefix, sys.exec_prefixes
print "Path:", sys.path
print "Default encoding:", sys.getdefaultencoding()
print "Input encoding:", sys.stdin.encoding,
print "Output encodings:", sys.stdout.encoding, sys.stderr.encoding
try:
import string # Make python -v do something interesting
except ImportError:
print "Could not find string module"
sys.path.append(u"stdlib directory name")
try:
import string # Make python -v do something interesting
except ImportError:
print "Could not find string module"
