New submission from Trundle <andy-pyt...@hammerhartes.de>: In Python 3, curses requires a str for addstr() where I think it should take bytes instead. Otherwise it is impossible to output anything other than ASCII (which is even more or less stated on top of curses' documentation).
See the attached script "umlaut2x.py" for Python 2.6: Outputting umlauts works fine, both in single-byte and multi-byte environments. The attached script "umlaut3x.py" is the same script translated to Python 3. Note that the output here always seems to be utf-8, which is plain wrong. A quick test where I changed addstr() to take bytes instead of str confirmed that outputting other characters than ASCII would work then in Python 3, too. There are perhaps more places where the types are wrong. If someone confirms this issue and it is desired, I could provide a patch. ---------- components: Library (Lib) files: umlaut2x.py messages: 91786 nosy: Trundle severity: normal status: open title: (curses) addstr() takes str in Python 3 type: behavior versions: Python 3.1 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file14750/umlaut2x.py _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue6745> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
