Éric Araujo added the comment: One could argue that since print does respect the terminal encoding if sys.stdin is a tty, pydoc could be as smart and do the same. I think the problem comes from the use of a pager, which means a subprocess, which mean that the streams are not ttys and the encoding can’t be detected. print doesn’t work either with pipes: python -c "import foo; print foo.__author__" | cat
So I fear that this bug may only get a doc note. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue15791> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
