I am wondering if anyone knows the reason as to why :
print u'£'
should cause a UnicodeDecodeError on pythonce ? (The usual 'ascii codec cannot decode character...' message).
Obviously the '£' character is a non-ascii character. I am just surprised that the print statement is using the ascii encoding at all and not just passing the string to sys.stdout.
The particular reason I ask is that this doesn't happen with 'normal' python... but I would like to know how the print statement decodes unicode strings it prints. Since it *doesn't* raise an error normally it obviously doesn't use defaultencoding - so why does the pyhonce one ?
Yours curiously,
