[issue21164] print unicode in Windows console
Terry J. Reedy added the comment:
You can change the code page of a Command Prompt window, before calling Python,
with ... chcp code-page. There is 'something' called cp65001 that is
supposed to be a utf-8 codepage. Once can change to it, but it does not work
right. This has been discussed on StackOverflow and elsewhere.
The Idle Shell, running on tkinter, handles everything in the BMP because
tcl/tk is unicode (ucs-2) based. The characters that display properly depend on
the font you select. On my machine, all but three of the following arbitrary
codepoints display proper characters.
print('\u\u\u\u\u\u\u\u\u\u\u\u\u\u')

[issue21164] print unicode in Windows console
Leslie Klein added the comment: I start ipython in Windows PowerShell. The console I am referring to is ipython running in WindowsPowerShell. I do not use the DOS cmd.exe When running ipython notebook from WindowsPowerShell -- no problem printing unicode. When running in PTVS (Python Tools for Visual Studio) debugger -- no problem printing unicode in Output window, or Interactive Python window. Problem does appear in Console window (which is the DOS window I believe).

Or IDLE or another console? For the Windows console, see the old issue #1602 which is not fixed yet. On Windows, sys.stdout.encoding is your OEM code page, which is usually different than the ANSI code page (locale.getpreferredencoding()). -- nosy: +haypo ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue21164 ___ -- ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue21164 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

[issue21164] print unicode in Windows console
New submission from Leslie Klein: The console behaves by encoding a str (using the sys.getdefaultencoding()) and then decodes the bytes to a glyph for rendering. The decoder used is 'cp437'. Apparently, there is no way to override that! See ipython notebook for summary and example of the issue. nbviewer.ipython.org/gist/LeslieK/10013426 -- components: Windows messages: 215675 nosy: LeslieK priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: print unicode in Windows console type: behavior versions: Python 3.3 ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue21164 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
