Daniele Varrazzo <p...@develer.com> added the comment: I've made some other test with LANG=C on other platforms. It seems resulting in a clean error on Linux:
$ LANG=C ./here/bin/python3 Python 3.2a0 (py3k, Jul 6 2010, 12:40:29) [GCC 4.3.2] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import sys, os >>> snowman = '\u2603' >>> os.system((sys.executable + " -c 'import sys; >>> print(sys.argv[-1].encode(\"utf8\"))' " + >>> snowman).encode(sys.getdefaultencoding())) Traceback (most recent call last): File "<string>", line 1, in <module> UnicodeEncodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't encode character '\udce2' in position 0: surrogates not allowed 256 Notice that I had to use an explicit encoding or os.system would have tried to encode using ascii and barf, probably because of bug #8775. I've also been reported about issue #4388: I've checked and test_run_code() fails as described. So I think this bug can be considered a #4388 duplicate. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue9167> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
