1. Ok, for some reason I'm able to execute this command without any error in Linux (idle window is opening with a file name as 'astralE.py'). Because the character 'š¯”¼' is automatically being shown and treated as 'E' in both terminal and python command line interpreter(similar for chars 'š¯’µ' = 'z' and 'š¯’«' = 'P'). 2. But i'm unable to save/make a file with filname 'astralš¯”¼.py' and hence unable to run it. The following errors are thrown then : Exception in Tkinter callback Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/sanad/devpy/pessoc/cpython/Lib/tkinter/__init__.py", line 1549, in __call__ return self.func(*args) File "/home/sanad/devpy/pessoc/cpython/Lib/idlelib/MultiCall.py", line 176, in handler r = l[i](event) File "/home/sanad/devpy/pessoc/cpython/Lib/idlelib/IOBinding.py", line 339, in save self.save_as(event) File "/home/sanad/devpy/pessoc/cpython/Lib/idlelib/IOBinding.py", line 353, in save_as if self.writefile(filename): File "/home/sanad/devpy/pessoc/cpython/Lib/idlelib/IOBinding.py", line 379, in writefile with open(filename, "wb") as f: UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character '\U0001d53c' in position 39: ordinal not in range(128) I'm trying to figure out the root of the problem, feel free to give your inputs ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue23672> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
