Hey all.
I'm facing a strange problem concerning special characters.
Using web2py shell, through command line (linux shell), I do this:
# ---------------- start
$ python web2py.py -S welcome

WARNING:web2py:import IPython error; use default python shell

(InteractiveConsole)
>>> print "áéíóú" # note the strange chars!
áéÃóú
>>> from unicodedata import normalize
>>> normalize("NFKD", "áéuíóú".decode("utf-8")).encode("ASCII", "ignore") #
>>> again!
'AAuAA3Ao'
# ---------------- end
Note the noisy characters on the last line.
Then, at the same machine, I enter into the naked Python shell and:
# ---------------- start
$ python
Python 2.7.3 (default, Apr 10 2013, 06:20:15)
[GCC 4.6.3] on linux2

>>> print "áéíóú" # looks ok
áéíóú
>>> from unicodedata import normalize
>>> normalize("NFKD", "áéuíóú".decode("utf-8")).encode("ASCII", "ignore") # ok
>>> again.
'aeiou'
# ---------------- end
Everything works fine.
The same code.
I found this problem because I'm working to strip special characters
off of names, with unicodedata.normalize().
If it wan't strange enough, the unicodedata.normalize() works fine
from web environment, throug app admin. There the normalization works
as expected (the same way as the standard naked Python shell).
What could be the root of this situation?
