Hi all - I am running Eric 4.3.3 (r3080) and have found a problem with
encoding. When I try the following example (to print a British pound sign) I
get the following error dialog:
The file /home/ed/source/erictest/tcode.py contains the
syntax error
Non-Ascii character '\xc2' in file
/home/ed/source/erictest/tcode.py
on line 1, but no encoding declared; see
http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0263.html
for details at line 1, character 0.
Here is the offending code:
a="£"
print a
I find that inserting a "#coding: utf-8" at the top fixes this. I have looked
at eric4.py and it seems to set the string encoding to utf-8 in it's setup but
maybe looses this setting somewhere ?
I quite often have pound signs in my code and are constantly forgetting to set
the coding setting. Is there a setting somewhere to fix this ? Forgive me if
this is something obvious !
Kind Regards,
BgEddy
