New submission from Priit Oorn: It seems that idle has problems with some UTF8 / Unicode characters and loading files that have them inside them.
I tried to do code to replace text with other symbols from unicode table. First in idle and pasting the symbol "𝔄" into the idle it caused both the text editor and idle itself to close. Then made edit and paste in notepad.exe for the same file, which seemed to work fine... but when I tried to open the file in idle, it opened an empty editor which was bugged and unable to close and I had to kill it off from taskmanager. (Yes you can edit and write stuff into the empty new file, and even save it, but you can't close it from the top window X button and Exit causes it to close idle and keep the editor window still open) replacements = {'A':'𝔄', 'B':'𝔅', 'C':'ℭ', 'D':'𝔇'} ---------- files: goth - crasher.py messages: 292595 nosy: Priit Oorn priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: some UTF8 symbols type: crash versions: Python 3.6 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file46842/goth - crasher.py _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue30209> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
