New submission from Vlastimil Brom <vlastimil.b...@gmail.com>:
Hi,
while testing python 3.3a1 a bit, especially the new string handling of non-BMP
characters, I noticed a problem in Idle in this regard:
Python 3.3.0a1 (default, Mar 4 2012, 17:27:59) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)] on
win32 ...
[using win XPp SP3 Czech]
>>> got_ahsa = "\N{GOTHIC LETTER AHSA}"
>>> len(got_ahsa)
1
>>> got_ahsa.encode("unicode-escape")
b'\\U00010330'
>>> got_ahsa
[crash - idle shell window closes immediately without any visible error message
or traceback]
I realised later, that tkinter probably won't be able to print wide-unicode
characters anyway (according to
http://bugs.python.org/issue12342 ), but Idle should probably just print the
exception introduced there, e.g.
ValueError: character U+10330 is above the range (U+0000-U+FFFF) allowed by Tcl
