Steve Dower added the comment: I'm now actively working on this for 3.6.
I've attached my first pass at implementing an alternative raw IO stream that uses the *ConsoleW APIs instead of the CRT. It works fine for basic print() and input() (including handling redirection "properly", which is a separate issue to change the default encoding there, and not issue17620 yet). I expect there to be many *many* compatibility issues with this change, so we really need everyone interested to try it out and see what doesn't work. So far I haven't even tried looking at readline hooks or similar (though maybe all those issues fall under issue17620?). Any *specific, technical* information about compatibility issues would be appreciated (i.e. enough that I can fix the issue without having to completely reproduce your setup - I'll be working on doing those myself anyway, so simply saying "X is broken" isn't helpful yet). It doesn't look like this will be available in 3.6.0a4, but I think I should be able to land it by the first beta. ---------- assignee: -> steve.dower nosy: +ned.deily versions: +Python 3.6 -Python 3.5 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file44094/winconsoleio.diff _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue1602> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
