Tried around to get a tolerant print/PythonWin setup. Seems like I can
live acceptably with this:
modifying site.py/encoding to 'mbcs' on win and 'utf-8' or 'latin-1' or
locale on linux and/or (more important) doing this at startup:
# tolerant unicode output ... #
_stdout=sys.stdout
if sys.platform=='win32' and not
sys.modules.has_key('pywin.framework.startup'):
_stdoutenc=getattr(_stdout,'encoding',sys.getdefaultencoding())
class StdOut:
def write(self,s):
_stdout.write(s.encode(_stdoutenc,'backslashreplace'))
sys.stdout=StdOut()
elif sys.platform.startswith('linux'):
import locale
_stdoutenc=locale.getdefaultlocale()[1]
class StdOut:
def write(self,s):
_stdout.write(s.encode(_stdoutenc,'backslashreplace'))
sys.stdout=StdOut()
fragile tricks... and pain on each project and python installation.
Shouldn't something like that (or 'replace') (or a prominent
switch-function for such behaviour) be the default for python - output
the maximum, not minimum ?
