I just wanted to thank Python for making encodings so easy!
I recently discovered that one of the tools I use stores everything in UTF-8, and so I was getting some off-by-one errors because I was treating things as strings. I added
def __unicode__(self):
return str(self).decode('utf-8')to the base object in the hierarchy, and wrapped my popen calls with readers and writers:
file_in, file_out, file_err = _os.popen3(self.command)
file_in = codecs.getwriter(self.encoding)(file_in)
file_out = codecs.getreader(self.encoding)(file_out)
file_err = codecs.getreader(self.encoding)(file_err)and voilą! Everything works perfect!
Thank you Python!
