I had a similar problem in a python script. Not necessary to rename files :)
The problem is that when you print a debug statement or write to a file, you
need to specify the correct encoding.
I'll add a snippet of the logger class that i'm using so you'll have an idea.
Also, play with the shell and see if you can reproduce and solve the problem
there.
try:
# If the message is unicode, convert to bytecode
screen_message = message
file_message = message
if ( isunicode(message) ):
screen_message = message.encode("cp850")
file_message = (message + '\n').encode("utf-8")
# Print to screen
if ( to_screen == 1 ): print screen_message
# Write to file
f = open(logfile, 'a')
f.write(file_message)
f.close()
except Exception, e:
print "Logmessage: exception %s" % str(e)
I seem to remember that on my windows, the code page in the command screen
(cp850)
is different from the code page used in a file (latin1).
Anyway, as you can see, before i print a message to the cmd screen, i encode it.
Same happens when i save the message in the logfile. I encode it to a different
code page however.
You'll have to do the same with other strings that get printed.
This works for me
