New submission from Spandan Garg <spandan.garg1...@gmail.com>: Recently, I noticed that whenever I execute python from inside a virtual environment, I can't seem to write special characters into the shell. Although, when I exit the virtual environment, this issue no longer occurs. I've confirmed that the versions of python inside and outside the virtual environment are the same.
For example, when I paste the string 'doesn’t' (with the Unicode apostrophe) into the shell without virtual environment, I get the following: >>> doesn’t # without virtual environment When I paste the same string into the shell with a virtual environment active (and the same version of python), I get the following: >>> doesnt # with virtual environment The version of python I am using is python 3.7.4 (though I have reproduced this on python 3.6.5 as well). I am creating the virtual environments using the venv module. Also, I think that this problem only happens on Windows as I couldn’t reproduce it on Linux. Does anyone know why this may be happening? Please let me know if I should provide any other details. ---------- components: Unicode messages: 351757 nosy: ezio.melotti, glGarg, vstinner priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Special Characters Don't Work When Using Virtual Environment type: behavior versions: Python 3.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue38098> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
