That discussion appears incomplete without any mention of sys.getfilesystemencoding(). There is also no analysis to say why you believe it is better to change the default encoding for all applications as you have done rather than changing the calculation of encoding of the sys.stdin/out/err streams when not running from a terminal. Hopefully MvL and other folks more Unicode-savvy than I will comment, but in the meantime see previous comments such as this one from MvL: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2004-August/048496.html Cheers, Nick. -- Nick Coghlan | ncogh...@gmail.com | Brisbane, Australia --------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
