Serhiy Storchaka added the comment: There are few levels of this issue:
1) pydoc doesn't escape characters according to output encoding. It escapes characters uneencodable with sys.getfilesystemencoding(), but this encoding can differ from the encoding of sys.stdout or default encoding. 2) Default encoding for io.TestIOWrapper() and open() can be different from sys.getfilesystemencoding(). And it unexpectedly can be ASCII. 3) Mac OS doesn't support locales with the utf8 encoding (without hyphen). Here is a patch which solves first level -- makes pydoc using appropriate encoding with the backslashreplace error handler. ---------- keywords: +patch stage: -> patch review type: crash -> behavior versions: -Python 3.2, Python 3.3 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file37981/pydoc_encoding.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue23374> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
