>>> u = u'\u554a' >>> print u 啊 >>> sys.stdout.write(u) Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\u554a' in position 0: ordinal not in range(128) >>> type(sys.stdout) <type 'file'> >>> sys.stdout.encoding 'UTF-8'
Quote from file object's documentation: encoding The encoding that this file uses. When Unicode strings are written to a file, they will be converted to byte strings using this encoding. ..... So, my question is, as sys.stdout IS a file object, why it does not use its encoding attribute to convert the given unicode? An implementation bug? A documenation bug? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
