Category: Extension Modules Group: Python 2.4 Status: Open >Resolution: Accepted Priority: 5 Submitted By: roee88 (roee88) >Assigned to: Georg Brandl (gbrandl) Summary: os.startfile() still doesn't work with Unicode filenames Initial Comment: >From 2.4.2 changelog: >>>Bug #1007046: os.startfile() did not accept unicode strings encoded in the file system encoding. If the filename is unicode type and the encoding isn't the default system encoding, all "unknown" (to system encoding) characters are replaced by "?". This is causing the os.startfile() to fail with WindowsError: [Errno2] Because the filename doesn't really have the "?". ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Martin v.

Löwis (loewis) Date: 2006-03-19 11:49 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=21627 Well, it does work on Unicode strings when all characters from the string come from the system code page; this got implemented in response to bug #1007046. To fix this, the implementation should use ShellExecuteW (except on Win9x). Would you like to work on a patch? As a work-around, change your system code page so your file names are supported. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1451503&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
