Hi all
This is not important, but I would appreciate it if someone could explain
the following, run from cmd.exe on Windows Server 2003 -

x = '\u2119'
x # this uses stderr
'\u2119'
print(x) # this uses stdout
Traceback (most recent call last):

return codecs.charmap_encode(input,self.errors,encoding_map)[0]
UnicodeEncodeError: 'charmap' codec can't encode character '\u2119' in
position
0: character maps to <undefined
On Windows, at least, the Idle gui generally handles unicode (certainly
the BMP) much better than the interpreter command prompt interface.
>>> x = '\u2119'
>>> x
'ℙ'
>>> print(x)
ℙ
