Joseph Perry added the comment: I've found a workaround by specifying the enviroment variable:
my_env = os.environ my_env['PYTHONIOENCODING'] = 'utf-8' p = subprocess.Popen(shlex.split(command), stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.PIPE, stdin=subprocess.PIPE, env=my_env) I've attached an example script for testing. It calls itself recursively 10 times. Pleased note the 'fix' variable. ---------- nosy: +berwin22 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file28760/subProcessTest.py _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue6135> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
