Hi ! Yesterday I got a very interesting bug. I don't understand, why I got it, because I thinking about this function: that is safe. But I was not.
The code: import sys,os UFN=u'%s\\xA\xff'%os.getcwd() if os.path.exists(UFN): os.remove(UFN) f=open(UFN,'w') f.write('%s\n'%('='*80)) f.close() import win32api dfn=win32api.GetShortPathName(UFN) sys.exit() ################################################### Commandline: C:\Python24\python.exe G:\SPEEDT~1\Module1.py Workingdirectory: G:\speedtest Timeout: 0 ms Traceback (most recent call last): File "G:\SPEEDT~1\Module1.py", line 14, in ? dfn=win32api.GetShortPathName(UFN) UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xff' in position 15: ordinal not in range(128) Process "Pyhton Interpeter" terminated, ExitCode: 00000001 ################################################### I want to get the sorter file name to pass it the FSUM.exe. But I got this error in every machine. How to I avoid this error ? I need very safe code for my program. Thanx for help: dd -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
