Public bug reported: Binary package hint: python
1) Ubuntu 9.10 2) python 2.6.4-0ubuntu1 the python script i run is: #!/usr/bin/python # -*- coding: utf-8 -*- import sys print sys.getdefaultencoding() just these four lines. 3) i expect that this prints out the encoding given in the second line of the script; 'utf-8' in this case as defined in http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0263/ . (running this script in eclipse using pydev really shows this behaviour). 4) the result of the script when run in bash is: 'ascii'. no matter what encoding i specify in the second line. ** Affects: python-defaults (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: python -- python ignores encoding definition https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/516064 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
