But it seems to have quessed wrong. I don't blame it, I would not know of
any way to reliably figure out this setting.
It's actually very easy. Python invokes GetC

Except for the very implicit choice of 'ascii' as an encoding when
it cannot make a good guess of course :-).
Since 'ascii' is a legal subset Unicode and

All in all I agree, however.

So I would have to specify the encoding on every call to print? I am
sure to
forget and I don't like the program dying, in my case garbled output
would be
much more acceptable.
Marian I'm with you. You never known you have put enough encode in all the
right places a

This is what I get inside Eclipse using pydev when I run:

dirname = "c:/test"
print dirname
for fname in os.listdir(dirname):
print fname
if os.path.isfile(fname):
print fname

Hi,
Have you set the coding cookie in your file?
Yes. I set it to Utf-8 as that's what I use for all my development.
Try adding this as the first or second line.
# -*- coding: cp850 -*-
Python will then know how your file is encoded
That is relevant to the encoding of source-files, right? How does

Hi,
Don't be tempted to ever change sys.defaultencoding in site.py, this is
site specific, meaning that if you ever distribute them, programs
relying on this setting may fail on other people's Python installations.
But wouldn't that be correct in my case?

Hi,
Thank you very much, you have collectively cleared up some of the confusion.
English windows command prompt uses cp437 charset.
To be exact my Windows is german but I am not outputting to the command
prompt
window. I am using eclipse with the pydev plugin as development platform and
