STINNER Victor <victor.stin...@haypocalc.com> added the comment: Python 2 uses byte strings. If characters are not encodable to the ANSI code page, Windows replaces them by question marks. See the issue #13247 for another example (in Python 3 when using explicitly the bytes API). To be able to support characters not encodable to the ANSI code page, you have to use Unicode *everywhere*.
Because Python 2 doesn't have access to the Unicode environment and uses bytes in most cases, I don't think that we can fix this issue in Python 2. I close this issue because it would require too much work to fix this issue in Python 2, whereas it already works in Python 3. Move to Python 3 is the best solution of this issue. ---------- resolution: -> wont fix status: open -> closed _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue13207> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
