Chris Angelico added the comment: I'm experiencing a similar issue. Fresh install of 3.3 today from the .msi installer on the web site, identifies itself as: Python 3.3.0 (v3.3.0:bd8afb90ebf2, Sep 29 2012, 10:55:48) [MSC v.1600 32 bit (Intel)] on win32
To reproduce: Copy and paste this character into IDLE. 𝐇 C:\Python33>.\python -m idlelib.idle Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Python33\lib\runpy.py", line 160, in _run_module_as_main "__main__", fname, loader, pkg_name) File "C:\Python33\lib\runpy.py", line 73, in _run_code exec(code, run_globals) File "C:\Python33\lib\idlelib\idle.py", line 11, in <module> idlelib.PyShell.main() File "C:\Python33\lib\idlelib\PyShell.py", line 1477, in main root.mainloop() File "C:\Python33\lib\tkinter\__init__.py", line 1038, in mainloop self.tk.mainloop(n) UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode bytes in position 0-2: invalid continuation byte (Incidentally, there appears to be a slight difference depending on whether I copy the character in Chrome or Firefox. IDLE terminates the same way, but a Latin-1 app sees the character from Firefox as a letter, but the same thing from Chrome is two question marks (presumably the surrogates).) ---------- nosy: +Rosuav _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue13153> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
