Terry J. Reedy added the comment: Eryk> I tried print(transurrogate(s)) from editor and it worked!, printing '🔫 🔪' (though not near as pretty as here in Firefox.
I have previously thought of scanning strings before inserting into Text widgets and converting astral chars to \U000nnnnn form, with a color tag to distinguish such displays from the literal ten chars. This should work fine for read-only output to Shell but not easily in Editor. On Windows, I would just use transurrogate instead, and that would also work for loading files into the editor. I believe transurrogate could potentially solve pasting on Windows by intercepting <<Paste>> events. Serhiy, are you aware of Eryk's astral char workaround for Windows? Could it be incorporated into _tkinter, where a string's kind is accessible? ---------- nosy: +serhiy.storchaka versions: +Python 3.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue30019> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
