I concur: PyUnicode_FromStringAndSize() decodes with utf-8 whereas the expected conversion char->unicode should use the default encoding (ascii). But why is it necessary to check for chars above 0x7f? > (this API should not have been backported from the Python 3.x > in Python 2.6, This function is still useful when the chars come from a C string literal in the source code (btw there should be something about the encoding used in C files). But it's not always correctly used even in 3.x, in posixmodule.c for example. ---------- nosy: +amaury.forgeotdarc _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue7649> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
