STINNER Victor added the comment: "Sounds sensible. Are you aware of a workaround for this issue? I.e. is there any way to force Python2.7 to use the wide mode for outputting characters?"
I don't think that it is possible to workaround this issue, it is a bug in the design of curses, related to Unicode. I suppose that libncursesw uses an array of wchar_t characters when the *_wch() and *wstr() functions are used, whereas your version looks to use an array of char* characters and so is unable to understand that a character is composed of two bytes (ex: b"\xc3\xa4" for u"รค"). ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue18118> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
