Markus Kettunen added the comment: It's quite common to use wide character strings to support Unicode in C and C++.
In C++ this often means using std::wstring and std::wcout. Maybe these are more common than wprintf? In any case the console output breaks as Py_Initialize hijacks the host application's standard output streams which sounds quite illegitimate to me. I understand that Python isn't designed for embedding and it would be a lot of work to fix it, but I would still encourage everyone to take a look at this bug. For me, this was one of the reasons I ultimately had to decide against using Python as my application's scripting language, which is a shame. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue16587> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
