Package: python2.5-minimal
Version: 2.5.4-1
Severity: normal
Tags: l10n
When trying to execute this in an IDE (i tried in Netbeans, and in gedit with
the external command execution feature), python throws an UnicodeEncodeError:
#! /usr/bin/env python
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
print u"éáőöóúü"
The result of executing:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/darkelf/webdev/tv/port.hu.py", line 3, in <module>
print u"eéaáoőöóuúü"
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode characters in position 0-6:
ordinal not in range(128)
The root of the problem is that the default encoding is set to ascii, and there
are no accented characters in that character set, so python cannot print the
string in ascii.
More about python and the default encoding:
http://www.diveintopython.org/xml_processing/unicode.html
If i try to run the same script in a console, it works fine, but i don't know
why.
The solution is to change the default encoding to utf-8 in
/etc/python2.5/sitecustomize.py, and then everything works fine in IDEs and
console too.
It means adding of these lines:
# set the default encoding
import sys
sys.setdefaultencoding('utf-8')
Sorry but i dont know how to use the patch tool, so i didn't attach a patch,
but it should be trivial to make the patch if you are familiar with this tool.
