STINNER Victor <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment: @loewis: I guess that your locale is still UTF-8.
On Linux (Ubuntu Gutsy) using "env -i DISPLAY=$DISPLAY HOME=$HOME xterm" to get a new empty environment, I get: $ locale LANG= LC_ALL= LC_CTYPE="POSIX" LC_NUMERIC="POSIX" LC_TIME="POSIX" LC_COLLATE="POSIX" ... $ python3.0 >>> from idlelib.IOBinding import encoding >>> encoding 'ansi_x3.4-1968' >>> import locale >>> locale.getdefaultlocale() (None, None) >>> locale.nl_langinfo(locale.CODESET) 'ANSI_X3.4-1968' In this environment, IDLE is unable to detect idle-3.0rc1-quits-when-run.py encoding. IDLE uses open(filename, 'r'): it doesn't specify the charset. In this case, TextIOWrapper uses locale.getpreferredencoding() as encoding (or ASCII on failure). To sum IDLE: if your locale is UTF-8, you will be able to open an UTF-8 file. So for example, if your locale is UTF-8, you won't be able to open an ISO-8859-1 file. Let's try iso.py: IDLE displays the error "Failed to decode" and quit whereas I specified the encoding :-/ Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file11694/iso.py _______________________________________ Python tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue4008> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
