Daniel U. Thibault added the comment: "It seems to me the statement is correct as written. What experiments indicate otherwise?"
Here's a simple one: >>> print «1» The guillemets are certainly not ASCII (Unicode AB and BB, well outside ASCII's 7F upper limit) but are rendered as guillemets. (Guillemets are easy for me 'cause I use a French keyboard) I haven't actually checked yet what happens when writing to a file. If Python is unable to write anything but ASCII to file, it becomes nearly useless. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue20686> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
