Éric Araujo <mer...@netwok.org> added the comment: I think it’s not an implicit vs. explicit call problem, rather repr vs. str.
IIRC, in 2.x it is allowed that __str__ returns a unicode object, and str will convert it to a str. To do that, it will use the default encoding, which is ASCII in 2.5+, so your example cannot work. Ideas for work-arounds: - write a displayhook (http://docs.python.org/dev/library/sys#sys.displayhook) that converts unicode objects using sys.stout.encoding - for 2.6+, test if setting PYTHONIOENCODING changes soemthing ---------- nosy: +eric.araujo, lemburg versions: -Python 2.6 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue5876> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
