Tarek Ziadé <ziade.ta...@gmail.com> added the comment: Here's a status:
The problem is located in the codec that decodes the data (called by the compile builtin). It throws an error : *** UnicodeDecodeError: 'charmap' codec can't decode byte 0x9d in position 853: character maps to <undefined> Which is caught by compile and translated into: SyntaxError: unknown encoding: cp1252 So I see two problems: 1/ why compile throws such an error when there's an UnicodeDecodeError 2/ why compile works well under Py2 since 0x9d is not part of the cp1252 mapping I have written a test that reproduces the problem, and I am still investigating. If I can't find the problem I will ask for help on python-dev because I have no knowledge in the compiler internals yet. _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue4742> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
