Comment(by davidsarah):
Sigh. I misread the exception message in #734. It is complaining about
{{{sys.stdout.encoding}}} being None when stdout is redirected, not about
the input string being None. So the fix for that should be something like
{{{
def unicode_to_stdout(s):
"""
Encode an unicode object for representation on stdout.
"""
precondition(isinstance(s, unicode), s)
enc = sys.stdout.encoding
if enc is None or enc == 'cp65001':
enc = 'utf-8'
try:
return s.encode(enc, 'replace')
catch LookupError:
return s.encode('utf-8', 'replace') # maybe
}}}
It might also be a good idea to write a BOM at the start of the output.
That would allow the encoding to be autodetected if a file containing
redirected output is edited, which is helpful at least on Windows, and
should be harmless on other platforms.
At least I did better at scrabble (won by 3 points :-)
