os.path.expanduser on Windows: UnicodeEncodeError
My application is getting this error on Windows XP (works fine on Mac OS X) when it calls os.path.expanduser: UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode characters in position 52-56: ordinal not in range(128) The code was built with Python 2.3.4. I found referenes to Path 957650, but I'm not familiar with how such fixes are processed. Is there a patch I can add to fix this? How do I know what version of Python it is fixed in - that is, will upgrading to Python 2.3.5 fix this? Thanks for your help, Bob Swerdlow VP Engineering Goombah - Music Discovery [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

You can find out by typing SET at a command prompt. The settings used are HOME, HOMEPATH and HOMEDRIVE. Also helpful to print out the value being handed to os.path.expanduser.

It is not certain that this will fix your problem. The main benefit of the patch appears to be IMO that it will use the standard USERPROFILE environment variable.
