Ezio Melotti <ezio.melo...@gmail.com> added the comment: Here (winxpsp2, Py3, cp850-terminal) the license works fine: >>> license Type license() to see the full license text
and license() works as well. I get this output for the chr()s: >>> chr(0x10000) '\U00010000' >>> chr(0x11000) Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> File "C:\Programs\Python30\lib\io.py", line 1491, in write b = encoder.encode(s) File "C:\Programs\Python30\lib\encodings\cp850.py", line 19, in encode return codecs.charmap_encode(input,self.errors,encoding_map)[0] UnicodeEncodeError: 'charmap' codec can't encode characters in position 1-2: character maps to <undefined> I believe that chr(0x10000) and chr(0x11000) should have the opposite behavior. U+10000 (LINEAR B SYLLABLE B008 A) belongs to the 'Lo' category and should be printed (and possibly raise a UnicodeError, see issue5110 [1]), U+11000 belongs to the 'Cn' category and should be escaped[2]. On Linux with Py3 and a UTF-8 terminal, chr(0x10000) prints '\U00010000' and chr(0x11000) prints the char (actually I see two boxes, but it shouldn't be a problem of Python). The license() works fine too. Also note that with cp850 the error message is 'character maps to <undefined>' and with cp949 is 'illegal multibyte sequence'.
