This interesting discussion led me to a weird discovery:
PythonWin 2.4.3 (#69, Apr 11 2006, 15:32:42) [MSC v.1310 32 bit (Intel)] on
win32.
Portions Copyright 1994-2004 Mark Hammond ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) - see 'Help/About
PythonWin' for further copyright information.
>>> import sys
>>> sys.stdout.encoding
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<interactive input>", line 1, in ?
File "C:\edconn32\Python24\Lib\site-packages\pythonwin\pywin\mfc\object.py",
line 18, in __getattr__
return getattr(o, attr)
AttributeError: encoding
>>> sys.stdin.encoding
>>>
I'm all mindboggley. Just when I thought I was starting to
understand how this character encoding stuff works. Are
PythonWin's stdout and stdin implementations is incomplete?
