Greetings, I have observed the following (python 2.5.1):
>>> import sys >>> print sys.stdout.encoding UTF-8 >>> print(u'\u00e9') é >>> sys.stdout.write(u'\u00e9\n') Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xe9' in position 0: ordinal not in range(128) Is this correct? My understanding is that print ultimately calls sys.stdout.write anyway, so I'm confused as to why the Unicode error occurs in the second case. Can someone explain?
