Hi all. I have just noticed that exception objects does not handle well Unicode arguments.
>>> e = RuntimeError(u'àèìòù') >>> str(e) Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in ? UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode characters in position 0-4: ordinal not in range(128) >>> unicode(e) Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in ? UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode characters in position 0-4: ordinal not in range(128) C object struct does not have a tp_unicode slot (maybe it will be added in Python 3000?), however I think that the Base Exception class should implement the __unicode__ method. Any problems in doing so? I have not yet required this feature in the Python tracker. Thanks Manlio Perillo -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
