Jason R. Coombs added the comment: I get different results that @haypo when testing Powershell on Windows 8.1 with Python 3.4.1:
C:\Users\jaraco> chcp 1252 Active code page: 1252 C:\Users\jaraco> $env:PYTHONIOENCODING='' > How you do change the console encoding? Using the chcp command? Yes. I recently discovered that if I use chcp 65001 in my Powershell profile, I can finally see Unicode characters output from my Python programs! > I'm surprised that you get a UTF-8 BOM when the code page 1252 is used. Can > you please check that sys.stdin.encoding is "cp1252"? C:\Users\jaraco> echo foo | python -c "import sys; print(sys.stdin.readline())" foo C:\Users\jaraco> python -c "import sys; print(sys.stdin.encoding)" cp1252 C:\Users\jaraco> chcp 65001 C:\Users\jaraco> echo foo | python -c "import locale, os; print(os.device_encoding(0), locale.getpreferredencoding(False))" None cp1252 It seems as if something may have changed in Powershell between Windows 7 and 8.1, because my results are inconsistent with your findings. There's a lot more to digest from your response, so I'll going to have to revisit this later. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue21927> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
