Hi Rodolfo,
Yes, setting the file system encoding for your Python installation is
the best solution. Pygame uses this value to encode file names. In
theory the source file encoding can differ from the file system
encoding. But I cannot get it to work on Windows. Maybe it will work on
Linux. This could be a bug. Thanks for pointing out that file system
encoding must be set on Windows for non-ascii file names.

Hi,
I hope that find a solution:
You have to create a Python module named *sitecustomize.py*, with the
lines:
*import sys
sys.setfilesystemencoding('utf-8')*
Now my program is working again.
I found this solution in
http://diveintopython.org/xml_processing/unicode.html
Do you believe that it is the best one?
Thank for any comments
Bye

I had pygame-1.9.1.win32-py3.1
According to your advice I installed pygame-1.9.2pre.win32-py3.1
but the problem remains.
here is my code (sending also an attached zip with the images)
#!/usr/bin/python
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
import os, pygame
def loadImage(fullname):
try:
surface = pygame.image.load(fullname)
print ("image loaded=", fullname)
except:
print( 'Cannot load image:', fullname)
loadImage(os.path.join("figuras", "carro.jpeg"))
loadImage(os.path.join("figuras", "maçã.jpeg")) #problem
loadImage(os.path.join("figuras", "árvore.jpeg")) #problem
loadImage(os.path.join("figuras", "canetas.jpeg"))

Hi,
Which version of Pygame. Proper Unicode file name handling was
added to 1.9.2. Before that only enough Unicode support was added
to Pygame so it would build and run in Python 3.

Thank you.

I doubt that this is related to your problem, but since you're
using Python 3, shouldn't that shebang be "#!/usr/bin/python3"?

on file
name
Hi,
After installing Python 3.1.3, I have problems loading images
whose file name contains special characters, like ã and ç
Pygame.image.load doesn't work even with:
#!/usr/bin/python
# -*- coding utf-8 -*-
Any help, please?
