STINNER Victor <victor.stin...@haypocalc.com> added the comment: First, make sure that your Python3 build uses libncursesw and not libncurses, because libncursesw supports unicode, whereas libncurses doesn't... On UNIX, use the following command to check this:
ldd $(./python -c "import _curses; print(_curses.__file__)")|grep curses > Note that the output here always seems to be utf-8, > which is plain wrong. Yes, addstr() always uses utf8 to convert unicode to bytes. It's wrong if the terminal uses a different charset. But I'm not sure that using bytes is a better idea: since you would like to print characters, unicode is the right type. An idea would be to use a configurable charset. Eg. add a 'charset' attribute to a window (or to the module). ---------- nosy: +haypo _______________________________________ 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
