Hi,
Have you set the coding cookie in your file?
Yes. I set it to Utf-8 as that's what I use for all my development.
Try adding this as the first or second line.
# -*- coding: cp850 -*-
Python will then know how your file is encoded
That is relevant to the encoding of source-files, right? How does it affect printing to standard out?
If it would I would expect UTF-8 data on my console. That would be fine, it can encode everything and as I have written in another posting in my case garbled data is better than termination of my program.
But it uses 'ascii', at least if I can believe the error message it gave.
