Category: Python Library Group: Python 2.3 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Casey Crabb (airog) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: raw_input problem with readline and UTF8 Initial Comment: Backspace doesn't remove all bytes of a multi-byte UTF-8 character. To reproduce the problem: $ export LANG=en_US.UTF-8 $ python Python 2.3.4 (#1, Jun 11 2004, 16:35:29) [GCC 3.3.3 20040412 (Gentoo Linux 3.3.3-r3, ssp-3.3-7, pie-8.5.3)] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import readline >>> raw_input() # ä, return ä '\xc3\xa4' >>> raw_input() # ä, backspace, return '\xc3' >>> A small C program does not have the same problem: #include <stdlib.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <readline/readline.h> #include <readline/history.h> void pprint(const char *s); int main(void) { char *line; for (;;) { line = readline("> "); if (!line) break; pprint(line); free(line); } return 0; } void pprint(const char *s) { while (*s) { if (isprint(*s)) putchar(*s); else printf("\x%x", *s & 0xff); s++; } putchar('\n'); } ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1103023&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
