Amaury Forgeot d'Arc <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment: I managed to get a proper traceback:
Exception in Tkinter callback Traceback (most recent call last): File "c:\afa\python\py3k\lib\tkinter\__init__.py", line 1405, in __call__ return self.func(*args) File "c:\afa\python\py3k\lib\idlelib\MultiCall.py", line 165, in handler r = l[i](event) File "c:\afa\python\py3k\lib\idlelib\ScriptBinding.py", line 124, in run_module_event code = self.checksyntax(filename) File "c:\afa\python\py3k\lib\idlelib\ScriptBinding.py", line 86, in checksyntax source = f.read() File "C:\afa\python\py3k\lib\io.py", line 1692, in read decoder.decode(self.buffer.read(), final=True)) File "C:\afa\python\py3k\lib\io.py", line 1267, in decode output = self.decoder.decode(input, final=final) File "C:\afa\python\py3k\lib\encodings\cp1252.py", line 23, in decode return codecs.charmap_decode(input,self.errors,decoding_table)[0] UnicodeDecodeError: 'charmap' codec can't decode byte 0x8d in position 34: character maps to <undefined> This is because the file is opened in text mode, using the default encoding (cp1252). It should instead open it in binary mode, and look for a -*-coding-*- directive. There is an attempt for this in linecache.py, but the logic there is wrong. Is there already a function to properly open a python source file? tokenize.detect_encoding could be used, but is there a way to open a file in binary & universal mode? ---------- nosy: +amaury.forgeotdarc _______________________________________ Python tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue2827> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
