New issue 130: py.process.cmdexec fails if the out/err contains non-ascii
characters
http://bitbucket.org/hpk42/py-trunk/issue/130/pyprocesscmdexec-fails-if-the-out-err-contains-non-ascii
Antonio Cuni / antocuni on Wed, 20 Oct 2010 11:30:44 +0200:
Description:
Consider the following file trouble.py, which just output a non-ascii
character to stdout:
{{{
# -*- encoding: utf-8 -*-
trouble = u'à'
print trouble.encode('utf-8')
}}}
py.process.cmdexec fails if we try to run it:
{{{
>>> import py
>>> py.process.cmdexec('python trouble.py')
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "/home/antocuni/pypy/misc/py-trunk/py/_process/cmdexec.py", line 32, in
cmdexec
raise ExecutionFailed(status, status, cmd, out, err)
py.process.cmdexec.Error: ExecutionFailed: 1 python trouble.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "trouble.py", line 3, in <module>
print trouble
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xe0' in position 0:
ordinal not in range(128)
}}}
This happens because cmdexec try to decode stderr and stdout using
sys.stdout.encoding or sys.getdefaultencoding(), which not necessarly match the
output encoding of the program.
Real life use-case: a pypy test invokes gcc, which uses utf-8 characters for
quotes. The test fails because of the exception inside cmdexec, even if the
test itself completely ignores the stderr.
