Martin v. Löwis <mar...@v.loewis.de> added the comment: Using the terminal encoding for sys.stdout does not work in the general case, as a (background) process may not *have* a controlling terminal (such as a CGI script, a cron job, or a Windows service). That Python recognizes the terminal encoding is primarily a convenience feature for the interactive mode.
Exposing sys.setdefaultencoding is not implementable in a reasonable way. ---------- nosy: +loewis _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue6832> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
