New submission from Egor Tensin: I've come across an issue of Python 3.5.1 appending an extra newline when print()ing non-ASCII strings on Windows.
This only happens when the active "code page" is set UTF-8 in cmd.exe: >chcp Active code page: 65001 Now, if I try to print an ASCII character (e.g. LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A), everything works fine: >python -c "print(chr(0x41))" A > But if I try to print something a little less common (GREEK CAPITAL LETTER ALPHA), something weird happens: >python -c "print(chr(0x391))" Α > For another example, let's try to print CYRILLIC CAPITAL LETTER A: >python -c "print(chr(0x410))" А > This only happens if the current code page is UTF-8 though. If I change it to something that can represent those characters, everything seems to be working fine. For example, the Greek letter: >chcp 1252 Active code page: 1253 >python -c "print(chr(0x391))" Α > And the Cyrillic letter: >chcp 1251 Active code page: 1251 >python -c "print(chr(0x410))" А > This also happens if one tries to print a string with a funny character somewhere in it. Sometimes it's even worse: >python -c "print('Привет!')" Привет! �т! > Look, guys, I know what a mess Unicode handling on Windows is, and I'm not even sure it's Python's fault, I just wanted to make sure I'm not delusional and not making stuff up. Can somebody at least confirm this? Thank you. I'm using x86-64 version of Python 3.5.1 on Windows 8.1. ---------- components: Unicode, Windows messages: 260153 nosy: Egor Tensin, ezio.melotti, haypo, paul.moore, steve.dower, tim.golden, zach.ware priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Extra newline appended to UTF-8 strings on Windows type: behavior versions: Python 3.5 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue26345> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
