Why using this very small charset whereas a web server can use UTF-8? I don't think that using backslashreplace on stdout is a good idea. > But > PYTHONIOENCODING=mbcs > is also OK, except that characters outside the Windows code > page will be replaced with '?' Starting at Python 3.2, you should use mbcs:replace to replace unencodable characters by '?'. The strict error handler is now strict: it raises a UnicodeEncodeError if a character is not encodable to mbcs. Note: mbcs is the ANSI code page. -- Using device_encoding.patch, I suppose that sys.std* streams will use the ANSI code page (mbcs, which is the code page 1252 on a Western Windows setup) in grahamd's usecase (Python program running in Apache). ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue6501> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
