Is the apache server running on a linux or a windows platform? The problem may not be python, it may be the underlying OS. I wonder if apache is spawning a process for python though, and if so whether it is in some way constraining the character set available to stdout of the spawned process. >From your other message, the error appears to be a python error on reading the input file. For some reason python seems to be trying to interpret the file it is reading as ascii. I wonder if specifying the binary data parameter and / or utf-8 encoding when opening the file might help. eg: f = open( "/var/www/cgi-data/index.html", "rb" ) f = open( "/var/www/cgi-data/index.html", "rb", encoding="utf-8" ) f = open( "/var/www/cgi-data/index.html", "r", encoding="utf-8" ) I've managed to drive down a bit further in the problem: print() goes to sys.stdout This is part of what the docs say about sys.stdout: """ The character encoding is platform-dependent. Under Windows, if the stream is interactive (that is, if its isatty() method returns True), the console codepage is used, otherwise the ANSI code page. Under other platforms, the locale encoding is used (see locale.getpreferredencoding ()). Under all platforms though, you can override this value by setting the PYTHONIOENCODING environment variable before starting Python. """ At this point, details of the OS become very significant. If your server is running on a windows platform you may need to figure out how to make apache set the PYTHONIOENCODING environment variable to "utf-8" (or whatever else is appropriate) before calling the python script. I believe that the following line in your httpd.conf may have the required effect. SetEnv PYTHONIOENCODING utf-8 Of course, if the file is not encoded as utf-8, but rather something else, then use that as the encoding in the above suggestions. If the server is not running windows, then I'm not sure where the problem might be. -- Denis McMahon, denismfmcma...@gmail.com -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
