I think I'm suffering the same problem in some small programs that use shlex:
>>> import shlex
>>> text = "python and shlex"
>>> shlex.split(text)
['python', 'and', 'shlex']
>>> text = u"python and shlex"
>>> shlex.split(text)
['p\x00\x00\x00y\x00\x00\x00t\x00\x00\x00h\x00\x00\x00o\x00\x00\x00n\x00\x00\x00',
'\x00\x00\x00a\x00\x00\x00n\x00\x00\x00d\x00\x00\x00',
'\x00\x00\x00s\x00\x00\x00h\x00\x00\x00l\x00\x00\x00e\x00\x00\x00x\x00\x00\x00']
I'm currently using the following "basic" workaround (while assuming that my
strings have only ascii chars):
>>> [ x.replace("\0", "") for x in shlex.split(text) ]
['python', 'and', 'shlex']
It would be very nice if shlex could work with unicode strings ...
Thanks.
