Martin Panter added the comment: Seems to be caused by the Python directory being non-decodable; the current working directory does not matter. What is going on is “pydoc” is trying to make a link to a module’s source code, such as
<a href="file:/usr/lib/python3.4/pydoc.py">/usr/lib/python3.4/pydoc.py</a> For non-decodable paths, the following would work in Firefox: <a href="file:/home/serhiy/py/cpy%FFthon-3.5/Lib/pydoc.py">/home/serhiy/py/cpy�thon-3.5/Lib/pydoc.py</a> but since URL percent encoding already uses UTF-8, this scheme isn’t foolproof (e.g. a UTF-8 sequence when the locale is ASCII would be ambiguous). A simpler and more consistent way forward would be an error handler substituting something like this, decoding the surrogate escape code with the “replace” handler, with the HTML link suppressed: /home/serhiy/py/cpy�thon-3.5/Lib/pydoc.py (invalid filename encoding) ---------- nosy: +martin.panter _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue25184> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
