Hi,
using Python3.1, if I say
import site
I get
File "/usr/lib64/python3.1/site.py", line 472, in setencoding
sys.setdefaultencoding(encoding) # Needs Python Unicode
build !
ValueError: Can only set default encoding to utf-8
But
emerge -vp dev-lang/python-3.1.3 shows
USE="doc gdbm ipv6 ncurses readline sqlite ssl threads tk (wide-
unicode) xml -build -examples -wininst"
Why is 'wide-unicode' in parentheses?
Hm. Try using a different tool, like equery u python. Note the
warning
about changing that useflag.
Thanks, unfortunately I don't understand the output
I've got
[ Legend : U - final flag setting for installation]
[ : I - package is installed with flag ]
[ Colors : set, unset ]
* Found these USE flags for dev-lang/python-3.1.3:
.....
- + wide-unicode : Enable wide Unicode implementation which uses 4-
byte
Unicode characters. Switching of this USE flag
changes ABI
of Python and requires reinstallation of many
Python
modules. (DON'T DISABLE THIS UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT
YOU'RE
DOING)
So, I have U- but I+ on wide-unicode
What does that mean?
I just re-emerged python:3.1 as a test, and I see exactly the same but
I don't get that error.
For some reason site.py certainly thinks your python3 is built without
wide-unicode. Have you tried re-installing python3 just for fun?
You could try deleting site.pyc and site.pyo as an easy test.
